Reducing Job Run

If we have a job with a Quantity of 1,000 but decide we want to reduce it by 250 (for whatever reason), what is our best option? The decision to short the job would be made after production has started, and after material had been issued.

If we run Op 20 and mark it as Complete at 750 out of 1,000, will the system recalculate the materials needed and take away the demand for them when looking at Time Phased? Or do we need to re-engineer the job for the lower quantity first?

Are there any caveats we need to look out for with this?

one other optionā€¦ SPLIT the jobā€¦ 250 and 750ā€¦ then take the 750 job and return all materials and cancel that job.

You can manually adjust the prod quantity on the job.

There is also a process called ā€˜Production Yield Recalculationā€™ you can set up and run to do it automatically.

Split Job! I knew I was overlooking the obvious. (this is what happens when the backend guy is asked front end questions)
