Linking Work Definitions to a Job Order
Work definitions can be linked to a job order using a job-order-to-work-definition link (PTC.SCA.SCO.JobOrderWorkDefinitionLink). Any work definition can be linked to a job order, whether it is a root work definition (the top-level work definition for a set of work instructions) or a child work definition. Any number of work definitions can be linked to a job order, however, an individual work definition can be linked to only one job order. If you want to use a work definition more than once, you can clone the work definition and then link the clones.
Services
The following services are available for managing job-order-to-work-definition links:
• CreateJobOrderWorkDefinitionLinks—Create one or more new job-order-to-work-definition links.
• DeleteJobOrderWorkDefinitionLink—Deletes a job-order-to-work-definition link.
• GetJobOrderWorkDefinitionLinks—Retrieves a list of all job-order-to-work-definition links with the specified job order UID.
• GetJobOrderWorkDefinitions—Retrieves a list of work definitions that are linked to the specified job order UID.
• GetReferencingJobOrderWorkDefinitionLik—Retrieves the job-order-to-work-definition links, if any, for the specified work definition UID.
• UpdateJobOrderWorkDefinitionLinks—Update one or more job-order-to-work-definition links.
These services can be executed from the default production order manager (PTC.SCA.SCO.DefaultProductionOrderManager).

The Manufacturing Planning example implementation includes an example implementation for linking work definitions to job orders. This example implementation limits the work definitions that can be linked to a job order. It allows only root work definitions (the top-level work definition for a set of work instructions) that have an IsCached value of true in their work definition metadata entry to be linked to a job order.
