Hello Babette;
We have a call into Epicor Support (958552PSC) on similar issues. We are on
8.06F
When you go from the Planning Workbench to Create Job and create the job;
the Planning Workbench screen doesn't close. It just sits there until you
close it, but the Job Entry screen has appeared behind the Planning
Workbench screen. (Epicor agrees this is occurring, they can duplicate this
step.)
The bigger problem is that the Required Quantities don't then update. We
make plastic tubes, so for 250,000 tubes maybe you need 1,500 lbs of a
certain plastic. We're seeing the 250,000 coming across as the required
quantity of plastic raw material!!!
Fortunately because of this wide difference between Job Quantity and Raw
Material Quantity Required the problem jumped out at us.
My suspicion is that since the Job Entry screen isn't clearing out, the
final trigger to complete the calculations doesn't happen.
Our fix is to then expand the Material tree in the Job Entry screen; go to
each material and click in the Quantity section (in the Fixed Qty Box or
Scrap little circles) and the recalculation magically does occur to fix the
Required Qty.
I can't say that I've tried this with changing a qty on a job (but I'll try
it), I see this on new jobs being created. (Epicor hasn't responded to this
part of the problem.)

Subject: [Vantage] Job changes w/ Job Manager
We have tried to change production-qty for a job using
Planning Workbench > Job Manager
The change did not stay in the job.
If we use Job Entry
the change stays in the job.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there an explanation?
