Job Sheet
Job sheets are a versatile tool that can produce a document with a table (or tables) containing data to produce, plan and order components or products depending on your setup.
Job sheets generally contain a table based on an order’s sales data (questions and answers).
The terminology for this document can vary from Job sheet, Worksheet and Order form, to name a few.
Job sheets can be represented in many different ways
Production Sheets
Order form
Work form
Bill of Material lists
Barcode Labels
Tickets (individual page per product)
Job sheets can be found by following the following steps
Settings → Inventory settings → Groups
Each Product in your profile can have a Job sheet as the Questions and answers may vary from product to product.
Job sheets can have multiple tabs;
• Data
• Job Sheet
• Check Measure
• Labels
• Components
• Powder Coating Order Form
to name a few, but you are not limited to these, you can have as many tabs as your office or factory require
It is essential to know that Job sheets have a few components that make them work; you don't need to understand how they work, just that they exist.

Breakdown of the Excel spreadsheet
BUZ Software utilises Excel to create a Job Sheet / Work Order / Order Form. The details from an order can be arranged in a way that helps your workflow.
A few defined names are required to allow the "Job sheet" to work with BUZ.
Data Sheet - The raw Quote/Order data will populate this sheet.
Job Sheet - Generally, this is the main form utilised; this is the base form output to progress and order, so this is a production cutting sheet or a purchase order for a buy–in product.
Check Measure - If required, it can be set up similarly to the Jobsheet; you may want extra space for installers to add measurements or other written information.
Tickets - if there is a requirement to have a page print per item rather than a table with all the items.
Labels - If you use a Zebra label machine, you can have BUZ print out labels that assist with production.
Components - This tab is designed as a Bill of Materials or recipe for taking components from stock for inventory control and reordering purposes.
Deductions - If there is a deduction or a table of helpful information for other calculations, we would advise putting it here.
There is no limit on the number of additional sheets used for production if the business requires more pages to be printed.

Job Sheet Considerations
Some pages in the job sheet will include a table of products (red square in the image below) requested in Order. This table has been designed to expand vertically if there are more products than the standard table size.
The tables are produced from left to right, then top to bottom. This means that formulas that reference the table will need to be done in a sequence, as the table may generate extra rows and mess up your formula.
You can find out more about how the BUZ order produces the sheets https://buzsoftware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HELP/pages/1871282177
Another consideration is that Cells in the body of the job sheet should not be merged. Only one of the cells will populate, and the merged column will have no value.
Using Excel Name Manager
Named Areas are added using Name Manager.
Select New
The box opens and Type the Name; in Scope, select the sheet being referenced and then click where the red arrow is pointing and select the cell containing the value. Click OK.
Job Sheet Formula Explanations
The formula used to produce a “due date.”
for a Supplier / Factory that doesn’t equal a weekend date and is 2 or 3 days prior to your Follow Up date (Install Date)
Step 1: Follow-up date -3 for expected complete production date =LEFT(Data!BA5,10)-3
followup-date -3, picking up 10 to the left to only select the date
Step 2: Date Formula; =IF(WEEKDAY(AB2,2)=6,AB2+2,IF(WEEKDAY(AB2,2)=7,AB2+1,AB2))
If the follow-up date equals Saturday, then the follow-up date plus two days
If the follow-up date equals Sunday, then the follow-up date plus one day
