Job cards

Job card is a document that allows to plan the production of a certain product and then realize this production. It allows to monitor fulfillment of material standards, outputs standards and planned deadlines. The job card dispenses the inputs from production warehouses and receives products to production warehouses. The job card enters into the accounting. We distinguish 4 basic types of job cards - planning, completion, normal and correction job card.

The Planning job card is a document that is used to plan the production process. The planned quantity is copied to the document from the routing and can be changed, the actual quantity is loaded from the Completion job cards. The production is not realized by confirming a planning job card - i.e.. neither release of materials, nor receipt of a semi-product or a product to a warehouse is not executed. Planning job card is a prescription for Completion job cards.

The Completion job card is a document by which the production is executed (completed). By confirmation a completion job card, a consumption of materials from production warehouses and a receipt of a semi-product or a final product to a production warehouse are executed.

The Normal job card is a combination of the planning and completion job card. It is used both for production planning and for production execution.

The Correction job card is a document that is used to correct the consumption of completion and normal job cards.

Picture: Job cards - 1st page

Fields' Description:

Job card	Identification number consisting of the book of warehouse, period and number. The identification number is created after saving a job card.
Production order	An identification number of a production order into which a job card is assigned.
Product	Standardly this field is always checked. That means, that a job card is issued on a product (its routing will be copied on the 2nd and 4th page of a job card). Item, to which a job card is issued, is selected from the Articles book. When trying to paste an invalid article, the system displays a query whether you really want to paste an invalid article. Note: Turned off the option is used for example when correcting consumption of a product routing or when completing non-production (non-productive) operations.
UM	After selecting the product, the stock unit from the Article card - basic or the other one with the Default for production flag is filled in. A stock unit can be changed, the quantity on a job card will be recalculated.
Pl. quantity	Planned quantity which should be produced.
Inc. quantity	Increased quantity. If the yield is defined less than 100 % in the operation of the routing, the quantity will be automatically increased by so much so that the planned quantity will be produced. If a constant number of faulty products is entered in the operation (Yield field without activation %), then the quantity is increased by this amount of faulty products.
Act. quantity	Actual quantity that has been produced. During the manual processing of a job card it is entered on its 4th page. In the case of creating completion job cards by using the Production completion function the quantity is gradually increased according to the individual completions. It has got only imaging meaning on the 1st and 2nd page of a job card.
Pl. price	The planned price is calculated on the basis of the plan costing formula from items of the routing of the product stated on the 2nd page of a job card.
Act. price	The actual price is calculated on the basis of the stock costing formula from items of the routing of the product stated on the 4th page of a job card. For this price, the product is accepted into the sales warehouse using a transfer note. If the CM-stock field is not checked, a stock price from the 2nd page of the Article card is entered here when confirming a job card. The actual price enters into the accounting.
Cost price	The Cost price is calculated in the base on a Costing Model from the items of a Routing of a product that is inserted on 4th page of a Job Card. The cost price will be added after the stock recalculation.
Routing variant	Routing variant of a product.
Warehouse	Production warehouse. A finished product or a semi-finished product will be received to this warehouse (if it will not be completed to other warehouse by the Production completion function) and further this warehouse will be copied to job card items that have no warehouse defined in the routing. Then these items are consumed from this warehouse. The warehouse, which is stated in a routing variant, is entered here when creating a job card. If no warehouse is defined in a variant, then the physical stock from the Articles book will be filled in here. If you create job cards by the Dispatcher function, a warehouse, which is defined in the Options of the Dispatcher, is copied.
Cost Centre	Selecting a cost centre from the code list. The cost centre, that is defined on the 1st page of a Warehouse, is entered during the creating job card.
Contract code	Selection from the Contract codes book.
Batch	Batch of a product. A batch can be predefined by selection from the Batches book. The field is accessible only in the case, that the appropriate product has the Batch records option checked on the 1st page of the Article card. If no batch is predefined, it is automatically created during the production completion.
Location	Selection from the Locations book. The field is accessible only in the case, that the appropriate product has the Location records option checked on the 1st page of the Article card and the warehouse has the activated Location records option too.
Handling unit	A handling unit at which the product will be received.
Req. params.	Requested batch parameters of a manufactured product. The field is accessible only in the case, when an appropriate product has the Batch records option activated on the 1st page of the Article card and at least one parameter with the activated Value is defined in batch or in requested parameters option is defined on the "P" page (a Type of batch exists internally for it).
Employee	Selection from the Officers book.
Cooperant	Selection from the Suppliers/Customers book.
Name	Selection from the Language supplements book. If this field is filled, it is showed in the book in the Description column instead of a name of a product. Note: If a job card is created from a sales order by the Ctrl+W keys or by the Dispatcher function, an article with the checked Do not show article names option is on a sales order item and a name of an item is filled in the Description field, then this name is copied into this field.
Device	A device registered to the appropriate production. For the further information see the Device chapter.
Drawing	Number or name of a drawing of a product.
Description	Selection from the Descriptions book.
Posting key	Posting key of the job card. If the posting key for job cards is predefined in Books of warehouses, then it is entered from the appropriate book.
Article code	Selection from the Article codes book. The article code defined on the 1st page of the Article card is entered here during creating a job card.
Original code	Article code which is defined on the 1st page of the Article card.

JC type	A job card can be planning, completion, normal or corrective. Neither release of raw materials, nor receipt of a product to a production warehouse is not realized by confirmation of a planning job card. Receipt of a product to a production warehouse and release of raw material from a warehouse defined in a job card item is realized by confirmating a normal and a completion job card. Corrective job cards are used to correct for consumption or to allocate overheads among the existing job cards.
Shift	Selection from the Shift code list (morning, afternoon, ...).
Status	Status of document. The field can be completed with the figure from user defined code list. Importance of that field is mainly for making interconnection with Workflow processes. The field has an evidence of historical changes.
Incomplete routing	This option is automatically activated when copying a variant with incomplete routing. The meaning of this option is stated in the Basic data of routing chapter. The option can be changed in a job card.
Ignore receipt prices	If this field is checked, then receipts to a warehouse (product, negative items) are pricing according to the method of appreciated of a warehouse - i.e. the same as at release.
Do not record actual quantity	In the case of checking this option the 4th page of a job card is empty. Routing of a product is only on the 2nd page.
Issued	The name of a user who issued the job card.
Changed	Date of change and name of a user who changed the job card.
Sub. documents	It displays the currently marked document from the Superior documents tab. A job card opens on page 1, a sales order opens on page 2 with the active light indicator on the appropriate item.

In the lower part of this form you can work with notes by using the tabs Notes, Header Text and Footer Text. Further description of the work with notes is stated in the Basic Code Lists and Supporting Modules K2 - Notes chapter.

Superior documents of a job card

Below the basic data of the job card, there is a tab in which the items of product requirements are displayed. If there is a superior document for the job card product, then the record contains a reference to the superior document and its specific item. A sales order or a job card can be a superior document. If you create a job card from the Sales order or from the other job card, then information about the superior document and item, which the job card is related to, are automatically saved into this table. A new superior document can also be inserted by Ins key in the Change mode of a job card. The Products form will be open. In this form define a superior document.

A job card can contain links to multiple superior documents simultaneously (a combined job card). If a job card has no superior document, then there is a record without a link to particular document.

Note: If there are several identical links (duplicate links) to the superior document, then these records will be merged automatically when the job card is saved.

You can define more records to the table of superior documents also in the case, when you produce to multiple contract codes by using a job card at the same time. In this case, when using the standard tool Production completion, the product will be produced according to the requirements on various contract codes.

pic_262

Picture: Job cards - 2nd page

Fields' Description:

Date from	Date and time of the beginning of a production. The start date from the first unconfirmed or unfinished operation is displayed.
to	Date and time of the end of a production. The end date from the first unconfirmed or unfinished operation is displayed.
Execution	The option relates to a product in the heading of a job card. It has meaning for "planning" job cards. If this option is activated, it means, that the appropriate job card will be produced. In this case, the quantity on a job card is included in the Ordered column of an appropriate product in the Articles book and the product is registered as the Will be produced type of a document in the Coverage of article demanded function. If the field is not checked, quantity on a job card is not taken as ordered and a job card is not enter to the coverage of a product. For "normal" job cards, the product enters coverage regardless of the Execution flag (with the Receipt by Job card type), and in the Articles book, the quantity is included in the In Receipt column. Note: If the field is not checked, then inconsistencies in resource calendars are not controlled in a job card.
Scheduled w/o coverage	The option is set by the system during the job cards planning process. The activated option means that the given job card belongs to the production tree, which was scheduled with the option Take into account the coverage date, but some of the job cards of this tree was not covered and therefore could not be scheduled. In this case, the entire production tree of the job cards is scheduled regardless of the coverage, and this option is activated in all job cards of this tree. When cancel scheduling of job cards, the option is deactivated.
Rem. time based on qty	On: the time of operations for scheduling is calculated based on the amount that still remains to be produced in the operation. The produced quantity of faulty products is also included into the actual state. Off: the time of operations for scheduling is calculated as the different between planned and actual operation time. The option setting has meaning for "planning job cards" only. The option can be preset in the Books of Production.
Plan type	A plan type is implicitly entered into this field. This plan type is defined in an appropriate book of warehouse (see the Basic Code Lists and Supporting Modules K2 – Plan Type chapter). The plan type serves for classification of the documents. If a job card is created from a sales order, a plan type from a sales ordered is copied to this field.
Priority	Selection from the code list, where a user can define priorities. These priorities can serve for another classification of job cards.
Fixation	Fixation of scheduling dates for all job card operations. For the detailed description see the part Job cards Operation, Fixation field.
Manully adj. sch	Fixation of scheduling dates for all job card operations for automatic (re)scheduling. For the detailed description see the part Job card Operation, Manully adj. schedule field.
CM - planned	Selection from the Costing models book. If a planned CM - stock is defined on an article category, it is copied to this field during the creating a job card.
Pl. price	The planned price is calculated on the basis of the planned calculation formula from the job card items. It is updated by saving items, by the Recalculate planning Job Cards bulk action and by the Recalculation of planned prices function.
Options	The options of displaying the 2nd page of routings, job cards in the case of the Show abbreviations in tree option also Production orders. Show abbreviations in tree: allows you to display the abbreviation of products and operations in the tree instead of names. Show operation text: allows you to display the operation text (the operation text entered in the Editor) in the panel below the table of operations. Hide tree: it enables to hide a panel with the tree of operations. Hide resources: it enables to hide a table with resources.
Product routing	The button to display a routing of a product of a job card.
	The button allows to display items from all job card operations. The setting applies for the 2nd and 4th page of a job card and for the 2nd page of a routing.
Edit rows	It allows to edit values directly in rows of items, without opening the whole form of an item. You can change the values in columns which are filled with dark upper right corner in the heading of the column. If the Edit rows option is active, the form of an item can be open by pressing the Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys.

Job Card Operation:

pic_1247

Picture: The Job card Operation form

Selected fields' description:

Yield	The value of the field is transferred from the routing, but it can be changed in the job card. The value in this field affects the calculation of the Increased Quantity in the job card header.
Fixation	The term to schedule an appropriate operation will be fixed. Fixed operations can no longer be rescheduled - either automatically nor manually. Fixed operations are indicated by the icon in the "F" column ("BFFixed"). Abscissas of fixed operations in the Resource chart in the Scheduler are filled by cross pattern (apply hatching).
Manully adj. sch	Fixation of scheduling date for an operation for automatic (re)scheduling. Operations with manually adjusted schedule can be rescheduled only by manual shifts. Manually adjust schedule on scheduled operations to a specific date, work shift and resource can also be done in the Resources book and the Workplaces book on the Daily plans tab (available in universal forms only). Abscissas of fixed operations are filled in the Resource chart in the Scheduler by one-way hatching from top to bottom from left to right
Beginning	Date and time of the beginning of an appropriate operation.
End	Date and time of the end of an appropriate operation.
Coverage	Information about the status of the operation coverage. The value in the field is a result of the Recalculate coverage function. The further description of Recalculate coverage function is stated in the Bulk actions chapter over job cards.
Limit from	Date and time from which the operation can be performed. The program does not schedule the operation before the specified limit. The limit may be, for example, the availability of materials for a given operation. Limit date can be filled by the Recalculate coverage function. Limit date is entered according to an ultimate date of items coverage in an appropriate operation. The max. planning date (31.12.2999) is entered for uncovered operations. The further description of Recalculate coverage function is in the Bulk actions over job cards chapter.
Limit to	Date and time until which the operation can be performed. The program does not schedule the operation later than the specified limit.
Editor	It is possible to enter description of the process of a job card operation to this window.

The other fields of the form are identical to the operation item in the routing. Values are copied to a job card as they are predefined in the routing. Order of operations can be changed by +/- on the numeric keyboard, but only if the Incomplete routing option is activated. Further description is stated in the Production - Basic data of production module - Routings - Items chapter.

Job card resource:

Group	Group of a resource. Only resource with the active Group option can be entered as a resource.
Resource	Resource of an operation. The operation is planned for this resource. It is possible to enter only physical resources or resources with the active Group option. If it is a group or a physical resource from a resources group, or a resource which has the defined supplements in a routing, it is possible to replace it by other available one from supplements by using the field with question mark. If an operation has been scheduled on a resource yet, a plan will be transferred to a new resource. This creates the same situation as when we move an operation between group resources in the Scheduler in the Resource chart by dragging. The job card then needs to be rescheduled.
Time of oper.	Selection from the time of operation to determine for which defined time the given resource will be used. The using occurs, when multiple time are set for an operation item and it is needed to determine a relevant time of an operation. If it is not filled in, then the sum of operation times (set-up, teardown and production time) is considered.
Resource count	The number of resources from the total resource capacity in the production calendar that is needed to perform the operation. If a resource has the activated Op. duration acc. to resource count option, then a stated number is taken as a needed minimum and for calculation of real duration of an operation it is counted with a total resource capacity entered in the calendar of a resource.
A	Button to display the archival records of resource requests. Records of the resource requirements from the calendar are not deleted after performing the completion, termination or confirmation of an operation, but remain stored with an archive flag. Information about the original schedule is preserved. In the event of cancellation of the operation termination or undo confirmation of the operation, the archival records, that were not created due to the completion, will be returned to the state of the resource request. Neither rescheduling nor deleting job card scheduling cancels the archive records.

After scheduling the job card, the table of the form displays information from the resource calendar (resource tasks). After the execution of production (completion, confirmation of the operation), the records remain in the table and have the flag of the archive record (history of resource tasks).

pic_1248

Picture: The Job card resource form

In the table of resources (the middle table on the 2nd page of a job card), if the Execution option is activated, the flag pic_195i may be displayed in case of inconsistency in resource scheduling. This means that there is a discrepancy between the time in the resource calendar and the time of the operation (eg the job card is not scheduled). It is displayed also in the case when an operation is re-scheduled with the active Finished option. If there is a discrepancy in at least one resource, then the exclamation mark icon is also displayed in the header of page 2 of the job card. Calendar discrepancy is not checked for resources with the active Do not check times on job cards option.

Job card item:

Picture: Job card Item - plan form - the General tab

The header of the form contains basic information about the article from the job car item.

Selected fields' description:

Coverage	Information about the status of the item's coverage. The value in the field is the result of the Recalculate coverage function. The further description of Recalculate coverage function is stated in the Bulk actions over job cards chapter.
To reserved	This option is used to turn on or turn off the 'r' flag - i.e. a reserving card. The reservation date can be added to the item by the user according to specific needs. If it is filled in, then it takes precedence over the date from the operation or the document header.
Available	The quantity that is available on the warehouse stated in the Warehouse field.
Time [min.]	Duration of an operation in minutes.

Other fields on the form are identical with a routing item in a routing. Thus values are copied to a job card as they are pre-defined in a routing. As in the TPP book, the order of the items can be changed with +/- on the numeric keypad, but only if the Incomplete routing option is activated on the job card. Further description is stated in the Production - Basic data of production module - Routings - Items chapter.

In case of incomplete routing, items can also be inserted into the job card manually. In addition to inserting items with the Insert key, you can also use bulk insertion with Shift+F6. Items are inserted for the currently marked operation.

The Inferior tab displays the inferior job cards that are used to produce an item of a semi-finished product. Use the Job card button to get to this inferior job card. By using the Dispatcher button, the Dispatcher function is started and the entire job cards tree is loaded. If the Do not create inferior job cards option is activated, it is not possible to create an inferior job card for this item using the Dispatcher function.

The active From stock option indicates a semi-finished product item that does not need to be produced due to the existing available on a stock. Activation of this option is the result of the function for reducing the produced quantity of semi-finished products in the Dispatcher. Such an item subsequently blocks the availability of the warehouse. In the Coverage function, the item is identified as the "Req. of production" indicating a document of a requirement, but always with zero date. From the point of view of sorting records and calculating the coverage status, this setting ensures that the stock levels are followed by the items that will consume this stock levels in a specific job card (and thus the blocked availability cannot be used for another request). Due to a reason described above, all requirements of unscheduled job cards are displayed with minimum possible date 01/01/1980.

C	By this button items of job card are confirmed (in Change mode). It is used only for items without a defined operation.
Change items in Bulk	Allows you to make a bulk change to selected data in the job card items. It can be executed in the Change mode only. In the Change items field, we specify the range of items we want to change (all, current, marked, etc.). The "Empty ones only" option means an empty value, i.e. the change will be made only in items in which the relevant changed field is empty.
Item routing	It is used to display the 2nd page of a routing of the currently marked item.

Serial Numbers (6th Page)

The upper window of the form displays the serial numbers entered on the job card item. (Detailed description of the serial numbers is stated in the Purchase and Sale Shared Elements - Serial numbers chapter.)

The lower window of the form is used to enter the serial numbers of the product (if serial numbers are registered for it).

The Product serial number field serves as a filtering field for displaying item serial numbers linked with the product serial number. The link is made by entering the product serial number into the Superior serial number field in the Serial number form when entering the serial number of the consumed material.

This is the actual price at which the product is accepted into the warehouse. If a stock calculation model is not entered, the planned stock price from 2nd page of an Article card is added here when confirming the job card. The price is also updated with the Stock recalculation function - only if a stock calculation model is entered. If the CM is not entered and we still need to change the price, then we will do this using the Change stock price function, which we call up above the record of the job card in the article stock card.
CM - cost.	Selection from the Calculation models book. If you have defined a CM - cost on a sort of Article, it is going to be copied into this field when creation a Job Card.
Cost price	The stock price is calculated from the stock prices of product routing items on the basis of a stock calculation model entered in the CM - cost. field. The cost price is calculated in the item when confirming the document. The cost price correction in the job card header can be performed for "normal" and "completion" job cards with the Stock recalculation function, for "planning" job cards with the Recalculate planning Job Cards function.
Confirmed	Name of the user who has confirmed the job card.

Calculation of quantities in items: Planned and also actual quantity are split. First, the quantity for the items in the current job card is calculated adequately according to the quantity in the header. For items with an integer stock unit, this is rounded. The difference between the original value and the value in the modified current job card is then inserted into the quantity in the items of the newly created job card. If the job card contains a semi-finished product partly drawn from a stock (an item without a job card with the From stock flag) in items, then this item is retained and used in the current job card in preference to the semi-finished item with the job card. If its quantity is sufficient, then an item of semi-finished product with a job card contains a zero quantity. While splitting, it is not allowed to have a smaller planned quantity on the current job card than the maximum completed actual state from the operations.

Functions of Job cards Module Menu

Form - Bulk actions

Bulk actions can be initialized only over the activated evaluating filter.

Picture: Bulk Actions - Functions of the Job Cards Module Menu

Bulk actions are similar to the bulk actions in the others modules. The further description is stated in Basic functions - Module Menu Functions - Form chapter. Only the different functions from other modules are mentioned in the following text.

Actions' description:


Change posting key	Change the account distribution of the headings or of the items of documents in bulk. In the items of documents, you can also change a Contract Code, Article Code or a Cost Centre. You can also check following options in the form:

Picture: The Change Posting key form


Change record	It enables to change the data in the Job Cards in bulk. You can change the heading data, operations, resources and routing items (articles). Bulk change of operations, resources and routings items (articles) enables to execute the 4 basic operations: Add, Change, Delete and Interchange. For resources, you can also use the Add from Operation function - it adds the resources assigned in the operation to the job card. The detailed description is stated in the chapter Form - Bulk actions in Routings. Desciption of the selected fields on the 1-Heading tab:
	Either for confirmed documents		It allows to edit fields on the confirmed documents too
	Convert values to items		Transfers the value from the header into all items; the transfer is performed only for those fields for which it is relevant (in general, these are the fields for which a query for transfer into items is displayed when changing the value in the header - Warehouse, Cost centre, Contract code, Employee)
	Article code / Insert from article card		When activating the Article code and Insert from article card fields, we do not select the code, the code according to the product card is inserted into the header and into the product item. When activating the Article code and Insert from article card and Transfer values into items fields, we do not select the code, the code according to the product card is inserted into the header, a product item and into all job card items.
Copy a Routing in bulk	It ensures re-generating the items of the Job Cards according to a current Routing Variant in a Job Card. However, if an already executed operation should be deleted when re-loading the items, the action will not be executed for a Job Card. Within the copy of the Routing in bulk, the recalculation of Planning Job Cards will be automatically executed (for a correct loading the reality according to the transfers).
Recalculate planning Job Cards	It allows you to update the planning job cards (re-loading the actual data on page 4) on the basis of the created completion Job Cards. If you activate the Combine completion job cards option, the Recalculation is not bound to the job card confirmation date. The recalculation also updates the planned stock price in the job card header according to the planned prices of items.
	Combine completion job cards	It combines completion job cards: goes through the completion job cards (in order per operations), enters the consumption of work-in-progress products (intermediate batches from the previous operations) and confirms the job cards.
	Including confirmed completion job cards	It also allows to combine on already confirmed completion job cards. In this case, the job card is undo confirmed, the connecting item (intermediate batch item from the previous operation) is deleted, a job card is combined (i.e. the connecting item is reassigned) and confirmed.
	Independent completion of set-up times	Allows recalculation / correction of the amount of preparation completion according to the amount actually produced in the given operation. Activating this option is only relevant if the Combine completion job cards option is activated.
Delete Schedule	It enables to cancel planning Job Cards, it means that the tasks will be deleted from the queue of work of individual resources.
Coverage recalculation	It executes an evaluation of a coverage status of items of all documents, which create a requirement of a production or sale (items of the unconfirmed documents with a reservation flag). The list of recalculated articles is given by the cards that are currently on the job cards marked with asterisks or on the job cards that are in the container. If no job card is selected, then the recalculation processes all articles cards. The status of coverage of the entire document, in job cards also the status of coverage of the individual operations, is also calculated on the basis of the status of coverage of the individual items. The evaluation of each item is performed at a requirement date. On the displayed form, it is necessary to set the conditions under which the recalculation is to be performed. The setting influences a loading data of a coverage and thus also an evaluation of an items coverage. If a recalculation is executed for a selected plan type, then only items with a selected plan type are recalculated. Setting of the fields in the form is remembered. In universal forms, Coverage Definition Patterns can be defined for recalculation. Use the Shift+Insert keys to get to the coverage pattern book. The coverage definition pattern contains all the settings necessary for the recalculation. Into the Recalculate coverage form insert then these saved patterns. However, you can also add an unsaved definition with the Insert key. In this way, various items with different recalculation settings (e.g.. Different article categories) can be recalculated in one run. Information about a coverage status is displayed in the Coverage field (job card item, operation, the 1st page of a job card). The function is also available as a shortcut that can be placed on the desktop of program or into the Tasks scheduler as an automatically triggered action. In this case coverage of all articles cards is evaluated. For the items / documents / operations coverage we distinguish the total coverage and coverage by stock. Whereas at total coverage also the future receipts are evaluated (it is evaluated according to the state, which is available in the Coverage of article demanded function), at coverage by stock it is evaluated, if the item can be covered by existing stock level. Items coverage - total (BFCovered) Covered : an item is completely covered, no quantity will miss to a requirement date; Partially covered : an item is partially covered, a part of a required quantity will miss to a requirement date; Uncovered : an item will completely miss to a requirement date. Items coverage - by stock (BFCoveredS) Covered by stock : an item is completely covered by stock at a requirement date; Partially covered by stock : an item is partially covered by stock at a requirement date; Uncovered by stock : an item can not be covered by stock at a requirement date. Operations coverage Based on the coverage of individual items (materials, semi-finished products) by operations, the coverage of the operation (total, by stock) is evaluated. Covered : all operation items are covered; Covered by stock : all operation items are covered by stock; Partially covered : at least one operation item is partially covered and the others are completely covered; Partially covered by stock : at least one operation item is partially covered by stock and the others are completely covered by stock; Uncovered : at least one operation item is uncovered. Uncovered by stock : at least one operation item is uncovered by stock. Job card coverage Covered : all job card items are covered; Covered by stock : all job card items are covered by stock; Partially covered : at least one job card item is partially covered and the others are completely covered; Partially covered by stock : at least one job card item is partially covered by stock and the others are completely covered by stock; Uncovered : at least one job card item is uncovered. Uncovered by stock : at least one job card item is uncovered by stock.
