Product Cycles

This field is available for use only if the Molding Industry optional module is licensed and enabled on the Optional Modules form.

On the Job Orders or Estimate Job Orders form, specify the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the co-product job.

On the Co-job Orders form, this field can be used only when the order status is Firm or Released. Specify the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the co-job. This value will be used for every job in the co-job.  

On the Unposted Job Transactions form, this field is provided on three tabs so you can specify the value to be used to calculate the quantity of goods completed. For a selected co-job, shared and unshared operations, use the Detail tab. For a selected co-job, shared operations only, use the Co-jobs tab. For a selected co-product job, use the Co-products tab.

On the Engineering Workbench form, Co-job or Estimate Co-job view, you can change the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the job. If you change the Product Cycles value, it must be changed for all jobs in the Items grid. When the value is changed, the released quantity in the Items grid is recalculated based on this formula: product cycles x quantity per item = quantity released.

On the Engineering Workbench form, Co-product or Estimate Co-product view, you can change the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the job. When the value is changed, the released quantity in the header is recalculated based on this formula: product cycles x co-product mix quantity = quantity released. The released quantity in the Items grid is recalculated based on this formula: product cycles x co-product quantity = quantity released.
