The job card is a printable PDF document that contains the data of all the shop papers associated with a job’s reference document, for example, operation control ticket, time ticket, and pick list. It is generated as follows:

The backend user (for example, maintenance planner) prints the shop papers of an order or notification in the backend transaction. If the shop papers have been configured to print to the job card, the print function does not physically print the shop papers but instead stores their contents to a database table. This action also changes the status of the order operations and/or notification tasks to Transferred to Job List (TTJL), which is a prerequisite for the order or notification appearing as a job in the job list. When the end user (the maintenance worker) selects the corresponding job in the job list and chooses to display the job card, the system retrieves the data of all the shop papers that were printed using the backend print function and generates a single PDF document.
