Changing Discrete Jobs

You can change discrete jobs using the Discrete Jobs and Discrete Jobs Summary windows. The status of the job determines if and what information can be changed. See: Discrete Job Status Control.

Quantities

You can increase or decrease the job quantity with no restrictions if the job is unreleased. If the job is released and work has begun on the assembly, you cannot decrease the job quantity lower than the number of assemblies that have already passed the Queue intraoperation step of the first operation. If a sales order is linked to the job, you cannot decrease the job quantity lower than the order quantity. The material requirements and job dates are automatically adjusted based upon the quantity change. If the job's assembly is an MPS-planned item, the update process automatically adjusts the MPS relief quantity.

Dates

You can reschedule standard and non-standard jobs to respond to changes in plans or unexpected downtime by changing their start and/or completion dates and times. Jobs might require rescheduling when capacity or material schedules change, or when standards change. See: Rescheduling Discrete Jobs.

Statuses

You can change the status of a discrete job although some changes from one status to another are disallowed and others are conditional. See: Job and Repetitive Schedule Status Changes.
