You can use the Work Orders and Jobs module to create and maintain the following:
-
Work orders
-
Jobs
-
Job step groups
-
Job steps
A work order is a collection of jobs that produce an item. A job is a list of steps or procedures that is executed to produce an item or a version of an item. Multiple jobs can be performed to produce a single item.
It is recommended to create a work order from a process or import a work order from a MRP system instead of creating the work order from scratch. After importing a work order from a MRP or creating the work order from a process, you may need to customize the work order for production. However, you can also use the Work Orders and Jobs module to create a work order with a process or MRP information.
When you open the Work Orders and Jobs workspace tab, a list of all the existing work orders is shown. Expand the work orders to see the job assigned to each of them.
By default, the Work Orders and Jobs module is in the Order Management group in the Navigation Bar. For more information on groups and modules, see Groups and modules.
