Hi Norman,
We had a similair dilemia. We got round it by customising the job traveller to include shipping details in the main header of the crystal report. This shows the sales order & line number on every page, including sub-assemblies. We have also created a dashboard to display all open jobs and there SO No, Line No, Customer, ship by date etc.
This is my first post in the group so i hope it was helpful!
If you would like a copy of the Job traveller or dashboard or both, please don't hesitate to ask.
(Vantage v8.405a)

Instead of making jobs to stock (and shipping sales orders from stock), set up jobs as make to order(s) - or even to other job(s).
Do it 'as you go' thru the demand link function of job entry (or en masse by part number in job manager).
You can create any job number you want in Job Entry (no need to wait for MRP). Field is alphanumeric.
Most (99%) of our sales are assemble to order (millions of potential configurations) NON-stock parts - so we utilize order job wizard as part of our sales entry process and generate the jobs 'automatically' per order/line/release.

What we would like to know is how we can identify, in the work queue,
related jobs production employees can be directed to work on?
We have done this in the past by creating our own Job numbers and keying off
the common Sales Order number (ex. S/O 25,667-1-1, Top Level Job 25667a,
lower levels 25667a570). However, this is done by NOT using MRP planned
jobs. When we use MRP to create the job we loss the ability to create job
numbers that have meaning, and loss the ability to search on the job number
or know which jobs effect which orders. Is there a way to create our own
job number make our own MRP job number? Or is there a way (report, BAQ, ??)
that we could easily display which jobs are related to a top level job or
Sales Order?
Production would prefer not to use Pull as Assembly to do this.
