The job system keeps inventory tied to a specific build, project, or internal task. Use jobs when stock should stay traceable to one purpose instead of being treated as general warehouse stock.
Jobs appear across purchasing, receiving, issuing, and shipping workflows, but this page focuses on the Job record itself and where job references show up in the product.
| Area | What the Job Does |
|---|---|
| Jobs List | Creates and maintains the job record |
| Locate / Move | Lets you search and review stock by job |
| Receiving | Lets the receive transaction carry a job reference |
| Purchase Orders | Supports job context on the header and per line |
| Issuing | Tags the issue transaction with a job |
| Shipping Orders | Supports job filtering on the order list |
The Jobs List menu opens the All Jobs view.
The Jobs list also supports Active Jobs and Retired Jobs views. Retiring a job removes it from normal selectors without deleting its history.
The Locate / Move search supports a Job filter so you can find stock tied to a specific job. The results can also display a Job column for review.
This page should not be treated as a direct inline job-reassignment screen. For the full stock-movement workflow, see Moving Stock.
The receiving page can expose a Job selector depending on transaction state and configuration. When a job is applied on that page, the received stock keeps that job reference.
In some cases the page applies one job globally. In others, receiving can preserve or override job values per row.
For the full receiving workflow, see Receiving.
Purchase orders support jobs in two ways:
When a PO header already has a job, line-level job fields can inherit that context rather than forcing the same stored value onto every line.
For the purchasing workflow that uses jobs to keep work-order material traceable, see Manufacturing Purchasing.
The issue screen can include a Job selector. Selecting a job tags the issue transaction with that job and affects the job-related availability context shown on the page.
Selecting a job does not remove non-job items from the visible grid. It applies job context to the transaction and the job-related availability information shown on the page.
For the full issue workflow, see Issuing.
Shipping Orders supports job filtering on the order list. Depending on configuration, order lines can also expose additional job-related actions.
For the full shipping-order workflow, see Shipping Orders.
