Split a job

You can split a job associated with an operation. When you split a job, a new job is created for the operation and you can specify the quantities to be produced by the new job.

The specified quantities are deducted from the existing job and allocated to the new job. Splitting is done to increase efficiency and utilization of entities that execute jobs.
