Job Order

It refers to the order issued according to the order received from customers. A job order is usually issued upon confirming the written order form and sending back its confirmation form. A job order is issued in two ways: one is to create a job order in response to one customer order (in a one-to-one form); another is to create a job order by putting orders from customers altogether into the factory-side manufacturing unit or dividing them. The former is commonly used by make-to-order companies, while the latter is used by make-to-stock ones.
