Create A Discrete Job

A discrete job is a tool to combine components and resources into a finished assembly or subassembly.
It may be used to capture costing information as well as scheduling information.
In the Work in Process responsibility:
Navigate to: Discrete > Discrete Jobs

The first form to come up will be the Find Discrete Job. You do not need to use the find form when
creating new jobs. From the find form select the New button to enter a new job. If you were going to
re-enter an existing job to change any information you could use this find form to bring up your job or
you could close this form and query directly in the definition form. Please see the document on view
discrete job form, which goes over the fields on the find form.

In the Discrete Job header form:

Job:
Enter in the job number for the discrete job. If you do not enter in a
value, a value will default in. Under personal profile options you can set
up a default prefix to use with the auto number generated.
Type:
Enter in the discrete job type, Standard or Non-standard. The value of
Standard will default in.
Assembly:
Enter in the assembly number you are building.
Class:
Enter in the class. A default class is assigned in WIP parameters. This can
be over written at this level.
UOM:
Default from the primary UOM of the assembly.
Status:
Status will default in Unreleased. Choose Released from the list of
values.
Firm:
Leave this unchecked. If it is checked MRP will not suggest changes or
reschedules.
In the Quantities section:
Start:
Enter in the quantity you want to build of the assembly. For a Nonstandard job you can enter a quantity of 0 (zero).
MRP Net:
Enter in the quantity you want MRP to consider as supply. This will
default in as the Start quantity. Change only if you do not want MRP to
consider the job quantity. Some Non-standard jobs will have MRP net set
to zero.

Start:
Completion:

Enter the Start Date. For a Non-standard job, the completion date will be
calculated based on lead times and routing information.
Enter in a completion date. For a Non-standard job, the start date will be
calculated based on lead times and routing information. For a Standard
job, both dates must be entered. For a Non-standard job either a Start or
Completion date must be entered.

Under the Bill tab:

Reference:

Alternate:
Revision:
Revision Date:
Supply Type:

For a Standard job you cannot enter a value in this field. For a Nonstandard job you can enter a value if you want to create material

Not required.
Not required.
This value will default in as Based on Bill. You can change this to a

value is changed to a different Supply type, the entire Bill of Material
supply type settings will be over written to the selected supply type.

Save Your Work.

Note: If you are confident that the assembly bill of material and routing is accurate then you can save
your job at this point and exit the form. The following forms are optional or view only. Changes to
discrete job composition can be made through Job/Schedules details. From the different tabs, you can
choose other options.

If you are controlling your routings utilizing revisions you can choose
from the list of values the revision you want to use.
This field will default in based on alternate revision selected.
Enter in the completion sub-inventory you will be completing the
assembly into. If this was setup on the routing it will default in. This
must be defined if you are using the Move Transactions form for
completions.
If subinventory selected is locator controlled you will enter in the locator
you will be completing the assembly into. If this was setup on the routing
it will default in. This must be defined if you are using the Move
Transactions form for completions.
