Work Orders can be created in Jiwa without using an existing Bill of Materials. This may be required where the production requirement is one-off, the components are not set up as a standard Bill, or the user needs to manually enter the items and quantities required for the build.
This article explains how to create a Work Order without a Bill of Materials and manually enter the production details required to manufacture the finished item or component.
