Overview of Creating Discrete Jobs
Discrete jobs are assemblies built in specific - discrete -

quantities. The jobs or work orders use specific materials
and resources.
Resources

Features:
• Standard and Non-standard jobs
• Assign bills and routings to create material
requirements, schedule operations, and resources

Features:
• Attachments of illustrations and files
• Lot and Serial Control
• Sales Order Reservation
Sales Orders

Features:
• Quality Integration
• Simulate Jobs

Class, and Status
• Enter manually or automatically generate the job name
• Profile option to specify updates on names
• Standard or Non-standard types
Job Type
Assembly
Class

Job Status
• Describes various stages in the job lifecycle, and

controls the activities performed on the job
• Some statuses are assigned automatically

User Statuses
Unreleased Job is not released to the shop floor
Released Job is available to begin production
Complete Job is complete, but still can perform transactions
Complete—No Job is completed, but cannot perform more transactions

Charges
On Hold Transactions cannot be performed
Canceled
Closed No further activity on the job

Processing Statuses
Pending routing load Concurrent process is loading the routing

Failed routing load Concurrent process was unable to load the routing
Pending bill load Concurrent process is loading the bill for the job
Pending scheduling Associated with the Manufacturing Scheduling
application
Failed bill load Concurrent process was unable to load the
bill of material
Pending close Concurrent process is closing the job
Failed close Concurrent process was unable to close the job

Job Quantities
Quantities are used to determine:

• Material requirements
• Schedules
• Resource load
• Dates
Quantities
Start
MRP Net

Job Dates
Discrete Job Dates consist of:

• Start date: The date and time you plan to start the job.
• Release date: The date the discrete job is released to
the shop floor and becomes transactable.
• Completion date: The date and time you plan to
complete production. Used for backward scheduling.

Bill Revision
Bill Revision enables you to select any valid version of the

bill of material to determine the requirements for the job.

Routing Revision
Routing Revision enables you to select which version of

the routing to use in scheduling the operations and
resources.
Rev 1 A B D E
Rev 2

Completion Subinventory
Completion Subinventory is where assemblies are

housed after completed on the production line.

Job Attachments
You can attach documents and graphics to jobs

Agenda

• Summary

Viewing Operations
• An operation is a step in a manufacturing process

where you perform work, add value, and consume
department resources for an assembly.
• An operation consists of a code and a sequence.
OP 10 OP 20 OP 30
Assembly Painting Testing

Creating Job Operations
When you define a job, operations and resource

requirements are created based on the assembly routing.
• The routing created in Bill of Materials is copied to
become a WIP routing
• The WIP routing can be modified without affecting the
BOM routing
OP 10 OP 20 OP 30
Assembly Painting Testing

Viewing Resource Requirements
• A resource is anything - except materials - required to

manufacture, cost, and schedule products.
• Includes people, tools, machines, and labor.
OP 10 OP 20 OP 30

Creating Resource Requirements
• Resources associated with operations represent

activities performed at the operation.
• Resource requirements are calculated at job definition.
• You cannot create resource requirements without
operations.
OP 10 OP 20 OP 30

Agenda

• Summary

Viewing Material Requirements
Material requirements are the inventory items and

quantities needed to build an assembly.

Creating Job Material Requirements
When you define a job, Work in Process copies the

assembly bill created in BOM. It then creates material
requirements for the copied bill of material components.

Simulating a Discrete Job
You can simulate a standard job to determine what

materials, operations, and resources are required. This
enables you to:
• Vary the quantity and dates
• View both on-hand and ATP quantities
• Vary the bills of material and routing revisions

Agenda

• Summary

Standard Versus Non-standard Jobs
Standard discrete jobs control the material, resources,

and operations required to build an assembly and collect
its manufacturing cost.
Non-standard discrete jobs control material and collect

costs for miscellaneous manufacturing activity.
Standard Non-standard

Bill and Routing Options for Non-standard Jobs
• You can assign a bill of material to a nonstandard job.

• You can use any bill or routing, including one that does
not match the assembly.
• Bills and routings are not used for maintenance work.
Maintenance

Quantity Options for Non-standard Jobs
• You can define a job quantity only if you have specified

an assembly for the job.
• The assembly and job quantity values let you perform
shop floor transactions.

Bill of Material Looping for Non-standard Jobs
You can add the assembly you are building as a

material requirement to the job’s bill of material.

Standard Versus Non-standard Job Fields
Field Standard Discrete Job Nonstandard Discrete Job
Assembly Required Optional, use if performing

move and completions
Firm Required for MPS Cannot enter value in this
field
Quantity Required Required, but you can enter 0
Routing Cannot enter a value in Optional, enter a value if
Reference this field performing job scheduling
based on routing

Standard Versus Non-standard Job Fields
Field Standard Discrete Job Nonstandard Discrete Job

MRP Net Required, defaults from Required for assemblies,
Quantity Quantity otherwise you cannot enter a
value
Revision Optional Required only for assemblies
with routings
Revision Date Optional Required only for assemblies
with routings
Bill Reference Cannot enter a value in Optional, enter a value if you

this field want to automatically create
material requirements based
on a bill

Agenda

• Summary

Importing Jobs and Schedules
You can implement planning orders, and import jobs and

schedules from other systems to create work orders.
Other Systems Planning
WIP

Implementing Customer Orders
• You can automatically link the sales order for a

configured item to the discrete work order.
• If your plant directly feeds your customer’s plant, you
can access customer demands using the Work Order
Interface

Work Order Interface and WIP Mass Load
The Import Jobs and Schedules concurrent program

creates a request for a WIP Mass Load. You can:
• Automatically implement planning recommendations
• Derive job name from a profile option setting

Pending Jobs and Schedules
• Use the Discrete Mass Interface Status Load report to

view the jobs loaded from the interface table.
• You can view, update, delete, or resubmit job records
that have failed and remain in the Open Job and
Schedule Interface table.

Agenda

• Summary

Releasing and Building Jobs
• You must release a discrete job to production before

performing transactions
• You then build the job by issuing components

Updating Discrete Jobs
After creation, you can update the discrete job. Specific

fields can be changed depending on job status.

Updating Discrete Job Information
Fields that cannot be changed:

• Type
• Assembly
• Unit of Measure
• Bill Reference
• Supply Type
• Sales Order Number
• Sales Order Line
• Sales Order Item

Agenda

• Summary

Summary
You should now be able to do the following:

• Define discrete jobs using the Discrete Job window
• View routings, operations, resources, and material
requirements on your jobs
• Use nonstandard discrete jobs to manage rework,
upgrades, and maintenance activities
• Understand how to implement planned orders and
import jobs and schedules into work in process
• Release a job so it is ready to build for transactions
• Update job information, as necessary, based on the
status of the job
