Creating a Co-job Order Manually

Open the Co-job Orders form and click the filter-in-place button.
Select Actions > New.
Specify this information:

Job

Specify an alphanumeric identifier of up to ten-characters that will be used by every job in the co-job. By default, the system uses the next unique number. If you allow the system to assign the next job number, the job number does not display in the job number field until you save the new job.

Description

Optionally, you can specify a description of the co-job.

For Whse

Specify the warehouse code for the destination of any finished good inventory this job produces. The default value is the same as that entered in the Default Whse field on the Inventory Parameters form.

Status

Specify the current status of all jobs in the co-job. The default status is Firm. For information about status options, see the Status field help topic.

Est Job

Optionally, you can specify the estimate co-job that this job was created from, if applicable. This field is available for use only when the co-job status is Firm.

Job Date

You can specify the date on which the job is created or accept the default of today for new jobs. This field is available for use only when the co-job status is Firm or Released.

Start

Specify the date on which this job is to be released for work, that is, the start of the first job operation. The system uses the start date and the item lead time to generate the end date automatically, if the end date is blank or if earlier than the start date. This field is available for use only when the co-job status is Firm or Released. If you change this date, it changes the start date for every job in the co-job.

Priority

Optionally, you can specify the priority. This field applies to the Scheduler only and is available for use only when the co-job status is Firm or Released. If you change the priority, it changes for every job in the co-job. For more information, see the Priority field help topic.

Priority Freeze

Optionally, you can select this field to indicate that a job's priority is standard. This job's priority is not reset by the Global Priority utility. This field is available for use only when the co-job status is Firm or Released. If you change this setting, it changes for every job in the co-job.

Resource BOM

If you have specified a co-job setup on the Resources form, Tooling tab, you can also select it here to automatically add items in the grid. Otherwise, items are added in the next step. This field is available for use only when the co-job status is Firm.

Product Cycles

Optionally, you can specify the number of cycles that will be performed on the resource for the co-job. This value is used for every job in the co-job order. This field can be used only when the order status is Firm or Released.
In the grid, add items for the finished good item and specify all appropriate information.

Note: All items on the co-job must have the same costing method.

Qty Per Cycle

Specify the quantity of the item that is produced in each cycle. A value can be entered when the co-job status is Firm or Released.

BOM Alternate ID

Specify the BOM to use for the item. A value can be selected when the co-job status is Firm.

Released

Specify the released quantity for the job. A value can be entered when the co-job status is Firm or Released.

Note: The remaining grid fields on this form have the same use and behavior as those on the Job Orders form. For more information about an individual field, go to that form, right-click in the field, and select Help.
If you need to preassign lot or serial numbers for items on the co-job, click Preassign Lots/Serials to open the Co-job Order Preassign Lots and Serials form.
Save the job.

If necessary, you can now add a routing and BOM to the job.
