To create a new job, you need to define a few properties.

1. Open the module.

   The Select <Module> Job dialog box opens.

2. Click Add

   The Project: [New] dialog box opens.

   

3. Define the properties of the new job.

   The properties marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

   Option	Description
   Job Number *	A unique number for the job. Note that the job number cannot be modified after the job has been created.
   Job Date	The job date is used as the initial start date of the project in the project schedule. Tekla PowerFab automatically uses the date when you create the job, but you can select a different date in the associated calendar. For example, you can select the date when your company received the job, or the shipping date.
   Description	The description of the job.
   Location	The town or city where the job takes place.
   Customer PO #	The purchase order number of the customer company, or the contract number.
   Job Status	The job is either still in progress (Open) or it has been finished (Closed). You can filter the Select <Module> Job dialog box by Job Status, so that only open jobs are shown.
   ERP Job #	The accounting system job number. Typing the accounting system job number in the ERP Job # field allows you to link material items properly when you export information to an accounting system, such as Trimble Viewpoint.
   Job Group	Job groups allow you to identify and classify jobs that are similar. This makes filtering and reporting easier when you have a long list of jobs. Either type a job group directly in the blank field, or click the arrow on the right side of the field to select an existing job group.

4. If necessary, modify the drawing settings of the new job:

   For information on job-specific settings, see Define drawing settings for a job and Manage drawing logs for a job.

   For information on default settings, see Define company standard settings for Project Management.

5. In the Project Contacts section, add all companies related to the new job and their contact persons.

   For information on project contact settings, see Manage companies in the project

6. To create the job, click Save Project settings (F4).
