Use this form to monitor the jobs in a production. Jobs are generated when you run job scheduling after operations scheduling on productions that use operations scheduling. Job scheduling is the detailed scheduling of capacity. It divides operations into their individual task times or jobs. You can use this division to increase the accuracy of the detailed schedule by monitoring the individual tasks.

Operations resources are also assigned to jobs through the job scheduling process. You can increase your control over jobs by establishing maximum capacities for each operations resource per job order. You can also control jobs by monitoring the type of job that is performed.

Navigating the form

The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.

Tabs

Overview tab	View information about the jobs that comprise the operations in the selected production. You can monitor the job type, assigned operations resource, status, start time, and end time.
General tab	View more detailed information about the selected job, including the production and operation numbers, job type and links, operations resource information, job management and status, and whether the job is measured at an hourly or piecework rate.

Setup – The time required to clear an operations resource before the operation is started. Process – The time required to complete the operation. Overlap – The operation is scheduled to start before a previous operation is finished. Transport – The time required to transfer the items to the next location. This can be the next operations resource, the production route, or stock. Transport – After the operation is finished, the time that items must wait before the next operation can start.
Resource	The resource or resource group that is assigned to the job. This is selected from the operations resource defined on the production route. For more information, see Production route (form).
Job status	The job status. The field can have one of the following values: Coming – Displayed until the job is started. Waiting Interrupted Started Ended – Displayed when the operation or production is reported as finished. The job status can be changed to Ended by using the job journal or route journal, or by reporting as finished.
Start date	The date that the job is scheduled to start. The date is determined when you run operations scheduling or job scheduling.
Start time	The time that the job is scheduled to start. The time is determined when you run job scheduling.
End date	The date that the job is scheduled to end. The date is determined when you run operations scheduling or job scheduling.
End time	The time that the job is scheduled to end. The time is determined when you run job scheduling.
Production	The production order the job is attached to. For more information, see Production orders (form).
Link	The link that the job was created with. A link tells how the current job is tied to the next job. The following options are available: None or blank – There is no link to the next job. StartStart – The job must start at the same time the next job starts. EndEnd – The job must end at the same time the next job ends. EndStart – The job must end at the same time the next job starts. StartEnd – The job must start at the same time the next job ends. Note Times are the same when Hard is selected in the Link type field. When the link type is Soft, there may be a time gap between the two jobs. The next job can start later than the link specifies. Possible combinations of link type and link include the following: EndStart and EndStart – Used between operations. EndStart and Hard – Used between a setup job and a process job. StartStart and Hard – Used between several operations resources in the same operation. StartEnd and Hard – Used for secondary operations.

Updates occur when the route journal or job journal is posted to the ledger. If you set up the system to use route consumption automatically, updates can also occur when a production is started or reported as finished. For more information, see Production - Start (class form).
Actual end date	The date when the job ended. This field is updated when the job is reported as finished. Jobs can be finished when the route journal or job journal is posted to the ledger.
