Introduction

These enhancements improve usability and efficiency when working with Follow-Up Jobs in Cultivation. The updates streamline the creation, navigation, and visibility of follow-up jobs from Work Orders and Job Cards.

New Features

1. Follow-Up Job Preferences

A new Follow-Up Job Preferences table has been added. It allows automatic population of job details when creating a follow-up job.

When a user creates a Work Order Output line, the system will:

Check for a matching Activity Code + Item No. in the Follow-Up Job Preferences table.
If found, it will auto-fill:
- Follow-Up Job Type Code
- Production Scheme Code
- Activity Scheme Code

📌 The actual creation of the follow-up job must still be manually triggered using Create Follow-Up Job.

2. Auto-Release Follow-Up Jobs

When the Auto-Release setting is enabled, follow-up jobs will be automatically released immediately after posting the original work order output.

3. Auto-Navigate or Prompt to Open

If Auto-Navigate is enabled, the follow-up job automatically opens after the original output is posted.
If Auto-Navigate is disabled, users will be prompted to open the follow-up job instead.

4. Improved Job Navigation with Factboxes

A new Factbox on the Job Card shows:
- Follow-Up Jobs created from the current job
- Source Jobs linked to the current job
Includes a Show Job action that opens the selected related job.
The target page has been updated to support seamless navigation between jobs.

How to Configure

  - Item No.
