Setting Up a New Job

Before setting up a new job, consider if it will be assigned to a job group.  If the job will belong to a group, you can use the Reference File Maintenance option on the Job Control Menu to create the job group before setting up the job.  Note that this step does not have to be performed before you set up the job; you can create a job group and  assign a job to a group at any time.  To assign a job to a group after the job has been set up, see the Change Descriptive Information for a Job procedure.

There are two steps to setting up a job:

·      Creating the job on the Job Master File.

·      Associating the job with a sales order.  The job can be associated with an entire sales order or with selected sales order lines.

You can perform both of these steps at once, or you can create the job first and associate it with a sales order at a later time.
