You can simulate a standard job to determine what materials, operations, and operation resources are required to support that job.
You can specifically do all of the following:

• Vary the job quantity and/or start and completion dates to determine scheduling and requirement constraints
• View both on–hand and available to promise quantities for simulated component requirements
• Vary the bills of material and/or routings and their associated revisions and revision dates

When you are satisfied with the simulated job, you can convert it into an actual job and save it.
