Quote from an estimated routing
Setup, run and material at standard produce the quote price; the same estimate becomes the job's plan on order.
Job shops and make to order
Every order is different: quoting from estimated routings, job costing, and a schedule that changes daily.
Typical roles

What changes for this plant
configured at rolloutA job shop makes to customer demand and needs to compare the estimated route with the work actually performed. The authored core links WorkOrders to SalesOrders and retains production costs. Review the following job-shop policies and any required extensions before configuring the application.
One-off bills
A job can carry its own bill and routing without polluting the item master. Repeat jobs copy the last one.
Job costing
Every issue, hour and outside-processing invoice posts to the job. Estimate versus actual is on the job record while it runs.
Dispatch by due date and priority
The supervisor's list is the plant's real schedule; splits and hot jobs are normal.
Customer-supplied material
Received as customer-owned stock, issued to the job, never valued as yours.

Common questions
All questionsDoes it handle multi-level bills and revisions?
The specification defines multi-level bills, dated bill revisions and versioned routings. Released work orders retain their referenced bill and routing. Phantom items, component substitutes and serial-based effectivity need to be included explicitly in the rollout scope where the plant uses them.
Related questionStandard or average cost?
The authored model uses standard costing, pending standards and reviewed cost rollups. Average costing requires an agreed extension and reconciliation checks; it is not represented by the current item fields.
Related questionCan we keep our accounting system?
Yes. The ledger is included, but journals export by period to a group ledger if that is where consolidation happens.
