The StartDataEntryJob() method starts the specified data entry job on the current entity. A data entry job is a job that is created on the fly on the shop floor. It is specified by supplying a work order ID and an operation ID. Since no BOM 0 record exists, an item must be specified along with a default production rate and, optionally, the ID for the unit of measure used for the item.
