We would like to close multiple jobs faster. In ‘Job Closing’ menu, there is a list mode but even if I select multiple job in the search, only one of them shows. Is there any way that I could do a customization so it can allow multiple jobs ?
Thanks
With the way the screen is designed, I don’t think you can do this. Instead, have you thought about doing an updateable dashboard to handle this? That might be a better solution.
I thought about this but I wonder if I update the fields (complete and close) if it will execute the same verifications that it does in the job closing screen. I guess I’ll look into calling the same BO functions
Thanks !
It should if designed correctly. I know we have a dashboard to complete the jobs since that is done by our manufacturing team. Closing is done by our accounting team and they verify that all is good on each job, so they use the screen because they only look at one job at a time.
@Stevensi1018 I tried to make a DMT run for this, but the guy who does our closings showed me how he does it. He uses a closing exception dashboard to get all of the jobs he wants to close and pastes that into list of Job Closing. Then he copies that out to excel to set complete and closed to true and then paste updates them. He does 100 jobs at a time. I just closed 65 jobs in my Test system in 6 minutes.

In the product group maintenance if you specify the job completion and job closing parameters.
Then you can use the
- Auto Job Completion process (Job Management -> General Operations)
- Auto Job Closing process (Job Management -> General Operations)
So, if I setup a job completion or closing parameter, it will automatically close or complete the job? I don’t necessarily want to automatically do it but I would like to be able to do it in bulk instead of one by one. So, for example if I can select 100 jobs in the auto process, it would have been ok
So far, the dashboard seems like the easiest solution for our needs
