What order are Job Demand Links (JobProd) issued in?

Does anyhow know how Epicor decided which order JobProd records get received to?

If I have a job with the final op marked as Auto Receive and 3 demand links;

  • 10 to JobMtl
  • 20 to Order
  • 30 to Stock

If I record I completed 25, what order does Epicor receive these in?
What about a qty of 40?

What does “Auto Receive” even mean for a Job to Order?

I wonder if the order in which the demand links were created has any impact. In your example you make 60 Total. Which could be demand links of :

(5) Job Mtl
(5) Order
(5) Stock
(5) Job Mtl
(5) Order
(5) Stock
(10) Order
(20) Stock

In wonder if completing 12 would force (5) into the Job Mtl, (5) for the Order, and 2 into Stock

I thought “Auto Receive” was only for Inventory. (?)

@CTCharlie, Auto Receive works for JobMtl & Stock, if it’s an Order demand it only get revealed from the job via Customer Shipment.

@ckrusen, I was thinking it was the order they were added as well, but I would think that would mean there would be a sequence type field related to the JobProd records, like 10, 20, 30, etc… But I don’t see one.

I’m trying to create labels at End Activity that prints where the parts are heading next. It’s slightly complicated if there are multiple demand links and partial qty reported.

Since parts to an order can’t be auto-received, does Epicor leave that demand for last or reserve that qty…

JobProd has ProdQty, ReceivedQty, & ShippedQty, so I can do the needed math, but would like to match what Epicor is doing…

Are you even sure that it affects Job for Mtl jobs?

Here’s the help:

Auto Receive into Inventory
Indicates whether labor or receipt transactions against this operation will create automatic receipts to inventory. If you use this feature, this receipt updates the quantity on hand on the part record. The process is triggered when you post labor quantities against this operation that exceed the quantities required for the sales order.

Note the emphasis (mine). That implies that the operation has to have been for at leastthe qty’s on the order (I think maybe they ment job?)

Fairly sure…

So the MFG-WIP trans hit before the MFG-STK?

And you got your colors crossed. Teal box on the Job Entry is for “To Stock”, The teal box on the Part Tran Hist is for the “To Job” trans

You sir are correct, my mistake.

So it doesn’t appear that they are processed in the order entered. Wonder if it’s always JobMtl -> Stock -> Order

Guess I could create a few more test jobs and see…

If you do a test, see what having multiple demands of the same type does (like my example in post #2)

And what if the Job Mtl is for multiple jobs (I assume that requires a separate Demand for each)? What order are they applied to?
