Creating an Estimate Co-product Job

If you're using the Molding Industry Pack, a Co-products tab is provided on the Estimate Job Orders form for maintaining co-products on an estimate job order. Alternatively, you may quickly create estimates on the Estimate Job Order Quick Entry form.

To create an estimate co-product job order:

Open the Estimate 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 estimate 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.
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.

Note:

If you need to add, remove, or update co-products for this estimate 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 an estimate co-product job to a customer order line item or project.
If you need to specify the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the estimate co-product job, enter this in the Product Cycles field on the Co-products tab and then save again.
