Select Finish and Sub-Jobs

Jobs are selected for change using one of two methods, depending on the setting of the Select Finish and Sub-Jobs field. The Starting Job, Ending Job, Starting End Date, and Ending End Date fields specify which finish jobs to select for status change. The system recognizes a finish job when the Finish Job and Suffix fields on the job record matches the Job and Suffix fields on the same record.

Select this field to change the status of finish jobs and all of their sub-jobs (to all lower levels)to the specified To status entered. The Job/Suffix and Date fields of the sub-jobs are not compared to the range criterion specified.

Note:  All sub-jobs with a From Status of the finish job entered are changed.

If an error is detected by the status change program, a message displays and the status is not changed for that job. All other jobs changed in the same finish job entered will be changed back. The function will then continue to attempt to change the next finish job

Clear this field to select individual jobs based on job number and dates. If you cleared the field, the job selection fields apply to each job, ignoring any finish job/parent job references. The status of each job matching the criterion changes to the To Status entered. If an error is detected, the individual job status is left unchanged, and the process continues to the next job.
