Creating a Co-Product Job Order

You can create a co-product job on the Job Orders form and maintain its co-products or by-products using either the Co-products tab on the Job Orders form or the Co-product Job Orders form.

To create a co-product job order:

Open the Job Orders form and on the toolbar, click the Filter-In-Place button.
Select Actions > New.
In the Output Type field, select Co-product Mix.
Specify standard job order information, with these differences:
- Item: Enter a valid item number for the lead co-product item.
- Revision: Enter the revision number of the item.
  Caution:
  An error message displays if the co-product items have a different revision track setting and the validation fails.
- Released: Enter the number of items to be produced for this job. The value you enter must be an integer multiple of the total number of co-product items in the co-product mix.
See Creating a Job Order Manually.
On the Co-products tab, specify the Co-product Mix. If you are using a co-product mix that has already been defined on the Co-product Mix form, accept the default, or enter another co-product mix that contains the same lead co-product item. By default the system uses the lead co-product item's Preferred Co-product Mix on the Items form.
Select Actions > Save. Co-product information is automatically entered in the Co-products grid and on the Co-Product Job Orders form for this order.

You can now add a co-product routing and bill of material to the job.

Note:

You can change co-product information on either the Co-products tab on this form or using the Co-Product Job Orders form.
If you need to add, remove, or update co-products for this job, either change the co-product mix quantity or cross reference the job using the References tab on this form. On the References tab, do not cross-reference a co-product job to a customer order line item or project.
If the Molding pack is enabled and you need to specify the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the co-product job, enter this in the Product Cycles field on the Co-products tab and then save again.
