Firming Planned Orders into Job Orders

When the Source field on the General tab of the Items form is set to Manufactured and the Production Type on the Planning tab of the Items form is set to Job, the system firms each selected planned order into a new job.

1. From the Planning Detail form, select the planned order(s) you want to firm.
2. Click the Firm button. The system displays the Planning Detail Firm Job form.
3. In the Job Prefix field, perform one of the following actions:
   • To use the default prefix defined in the Shop Floor Control Parametersform, leave the field blank.
   • To use a prefix other than the default, enter a different job prefix.
4. If you want the system to create a single-level job, select Copy Current BOM.
5. If you want the system to generate orders for any associated sub-jobs as well as the top level jobs, select Copy Indented BOM.
6. Click OK.

   The system firms the planned orders into new jobs, assigning the next available job numbers.

NOTE: The system creates the job header automatically, but you must either copy or create the routing and bill of material.
