Job Control Option

Displayed only if the Job Control module is installed.  Must be 'Y' or 'N'.  Determines whether the part is job controlled.  Job-controlled parts can be associated with specific jobs for the purpose of tracking the part through MRP, purchasing, inventory transactions, and manufacturing.  

In order for a part to be defined as job controlled there are some requirements that must be met.  The part can be lot assignable, it cannot have a JIT production type and the planning action code must be as-required.  The part cannot be a planning, reference, non-standard, non-stock or transfer part.  It must have no safety stock defined.  

In addition, note that job-controlled parts cannot be processed by the Repetitive Supply module.  

**Note: In order to change the Job Control Flag from 'N' to 'Y' the part cannot have any transfer requisitions or transfer orders.  To change the Job Control Flag from 'Y' to 'N', there can be no activity for the part.
