A job order is a manufacturing order for making a quantity of an item on your shop floor. Job orders usually originate from "planned orders," which the system generates in response to a demand such as a customer order or forecast when you run the MRP Planning or APS Planning activity, Material Planner Workbench, or the MPS Processor. You create a job order by "firming" a planned order, or you can create a job order manually on this form. In either case, you can then use this form to adjust, launch, and monitor the job order.
