Creating a Sub-Job through Cross-Referencing

You can create an individual sub-job automatically by cross-referencing a job material.

  1. Use the Job Orders form to create a new job for an item that has subassemblies.
  2. Select the References tab and click the Copy Current Routing/BOM button.
  3. Click the Materials button to open the linked Job Materials form.
  4. Select the job material the sub-job needs to make (the material with a Reference of "Job").
  5. Select the Source tab.
  6. Click the Source button. The sub-job is created with the parent job's number plus an incremented Job Suffix number.

You can also create sub-jobs for a range of parent jobs through cross-referencing using the Material Planner Workbench Generation. With this method, the parent job must be a scheduled job.
