Paul,
When you create an order for a mfg item and look at the part in the job
manager you can see the demand source, and if you scroll to the far right in
the demand box, you will see a suggested NEXT ACTION that will read CREATE
JOB or LINK TO JOB. So, you can do this, and this NEXT ACTION box content
will change accordingly. So, assume your order creates a direct demand for 2
items, and you create a job for ONE, you will see the next suggested action
still advises to create or link to a job. You can also create the job for
the 2 items, and then on the supply side, break the multiple quantities into
multiple jobs, etc..This is where the demand links power comes in.
Also, this is a great screen if you are doing forecasting. To forecast a
production schedule and then link your subsequent direct demand to a
forecasted supply........
Hope this helps.
