 		Previous Topic  Next Topic 

Mfg Orders Job Grid is the main screen where you can access other areas of DMS, search for jobs, filter jobs to get a subset of job data, optionally edit the job header, and more.  To access Mfg Orders Job Grid select Manufacturing | Orders.


The screen below is an example of the Manufacturing Orders Job Grid window that is displayed:



Note that depending on a job's state, the display color of the job can be different.  The display color and job states are defined using Job States.  Above the gird listing of jobs, the schedule start date, schedule start shift, schedule run type and the date the schedule was last executed are displayed.  There is also a DMS Reports group box where you can select a report to be printed or displayed.  You can also use the Reports tab to View and print reports.


The operations and/or the material for a job can be displayed in the Mfg Order Job Grid.  The selections on what fields to display are under the View menu where you can select the Operations or Material columns to view.  Also under the View menu, you can select to display Operations and/or Material by toggling on or off the display.  The example below shows the Mfg Orders Job Grid with both Operations and Material displayed:



If the Material is being displayed and there is a Material Planner, the Material Planner’s name is displayed in the title bar after the Material heading.


The Job Notes in the Job Grid, the Operation Notes in the Operations Grid and the Material Notes in the Material Grid can be displayed in a notes popup window.  If you double click on a notes cell, the corresponding notes are displayed in the popup window. 


If the user double clicks on a Job Grid row that is not a Job Notes cell, the Manufacturing Order Job Details is displayed with the Job tab selected.


If the user double clicks on an Operations Grid row that is not an Operation Notes cell, the Manufacturing Order Job Details is displayed with the Operations tab selected.


If the user double clicks on a Material Grid row that is not a Material Notes cell, the Manufacturing Order Job Details is displayed with the Material Details tab selected.


From the Manufacturing Orders Job Grid window, the following menu tabs are available:


File


  1. New Job  Add a new job using Manufacturing Order Job Details
  2. Edit Job  Edit the selected job using Manufacturing Order Job Details
  3. Auto Save  Toggle this button on or off.  When editing the Job row in the Job Grid, if this button is on, the job will automatically be saved when you move to a new row.  If off, DMS will ask you if you want to save changes when you move to a new row.
  4. Grid Edit  Grid Edit enables you to edit job information that is displayed in the Manufacturing Orders job grid.  Not all fields displayed in the grid can be edited such as for Job Notes, operation information, and job user fields; these fields must be editing in Manufacturing Order Job Details.  You also cannot edit a job that does not have any operations.  If a job does not have any operations, Manufacturing Order Job Details must be used to edit the job.
  5. Runs With Jobs Two or more jobs can be selected to be a Runs With Job Group.  To setup a runs with job group, select a job or one or more jobs in the Mfg Orders Job Grid by optionally using selecting multiple rows and select either File | Runs With Jobs or right click on the grid and select Runs With Jobs.

  10.

  11. Apply Jobs Apply jobs will schedule all the jobs listed in the job grid onto the existing schedule.
