Had an order from a customer for 4 lines of 10 packs of different product. The jobs were created and attached to the releases in the Order. Now the Customer wants us to send 1 pack of each to a completely different address. In the past I have looked at this and I came to the conclusion that because they are done with the Job, except for the final closing, all the operation are done, etc, that it will not let you do this. Is this correct? Or am I missing something.
Well, the job itself does not care where it gets shipped to, to have the different shipping address you would need a different release on the order. The same job can fulfill both releases. If the job wasn’t through the final operation you could modify the order and the demand links to make it work.
However, as you have found, the allocated quantity for when you finished the job is going to become a problem because you will not be able to reduce the existing release so that the (old one) + (the new one) = the line quantity.
You should be able to create a new release linked to the same job. The release can have it’s own ship to address. You will have to change the demand links on the job, so now it will be linked to two order releases.
Then reduce the initial release.
So, in the Job remove the line under Demand Summary, do the release in the Order, and then re-link to the job, correct?
I would create a new release on the order first. Then go to the job, un-engineer it, create a new order demand link to the new release, then reduce the original order release demand link quantity.
