Steps involved in building discrete jobs include:
1. Releasing jobs to production.
2. Issuing components to jobs and, if necessary, returning them back to inventory.
3. Using Shop Floor Control to coordinate, on an as required basis, the following:
– Moving assemblies between routing operations and intraoperation step.
– Scrapping assemblies.
– Backflushing or issuing and returning operation pull and assembly pull components automatically with move transactions
– Charging resources.
4. Changing jobs to accommodate changes in production.

Note: If you have Oracle Shop Floor Management installed, you can use lot based jobs in your manufacturing. The entire
quantity of a lot based job moves on the basis of the network routing.

Releasing Discrete Jobs
You must release a job to production before transacting against it. Releasing a discrete job with a routing automatically loads the job quantity into the Queue intraoperation step of the first operation. If PO Move or PO Receipt resource requirements exist at the first operation, purchase requisitions for these resources are automatically generated.

Printing Reports for Current Discrete Jobs
If you are in the Discrete Jobs, Close Discrete Jobs, Purge Discrete Jobs, or View Discrete Jobs window, you can use the Print Reports Tools menu option to print the Discrete Job Routing Sheet, Discrete Job Pick List Report, or the Discrete Job Shortage Report for the active or current job.
