A Job Order is an internal document extensively used by manufacturing businesses. In a manufacturing environment, a job order is used to signal the start of a manufacturing process and will most probably be linked to a bill of material.

Hence, the job order will probably state:

the quantity of the product to be manufactured
the amount of raw material to be used
the rate per unit and amount

Why is a Job Order needed?

In GINESYS, to initiate any kind of manufacturing work, whether standard, non-standard or adhoc, you are required to raise a job order. Job Order has to be mandatorily created according to the Routing Master defined for the item.
