Job Status Maintenance
Use Job Status Maintenance to view or change the status of a job. This program is useful for reviewing the status of several jobs at once.
Menu Path
Navigate to this program from the Main Menu:
Production Management > Job Management > General Operations > Job Status Maintenance
Use the Job Status Maintenance - List sheet to select all jobs for specific statuses (for example Firm and Released). Using a series of buttons (such as Firm All, Engineer All andRelease All), you can quickly change the status of the listed jobs.
Use the Job Status Maintenance - Detail sheet to detail information for the selected job. This includes part, description, revision, quantity, scheduling, printing and status information.
Use the Job Status Maintenance - Assemblies sheet to view assemblies that are associated with the selected job that have been designated as Plan As Assembly items.
The Plan As Assembly functionality enhances MRP processing by planning lower component manufacturing parts through a direct relationship with the end part. These lower manufacturing parts do not have to be included in the assembly structure. the Plan As Assembly functionality can still account for these demand quantities. It does this by leveraging the multi-level assembly build structure to correctly synchronize demand requirements.
You can also use its flexibility so that subassembly part quantities can be manufactured to stock or manufactured on a job directly linked to the parent part requirements. Any jobs generated through the Plan As Assembly functionality can be automatically given the firm status through the Auto Job Firm Process. This capability minimizes the impact to standard MRP by using the Pull as Assembly (PAA) logic for creating PAA assemblies, using Auto-Consume stock during the scheduling process, and creating a new process to firm up jobs which breaks off PAA assemblies to separate jobs and creates the material demand links
