Convert Prescriptions to Jobs (Work Orders/Recommendations)

Overview

You can turn one or more approved prescriptions into:

  • Work Orders (for execution), or

  • Recommendations (for advisory/approval flows)

During conversion you’ll assign an operator, choose machines/assets, set due dates, and control whether multiple prescriptions become one multi-bin job or separate jobs.


Prerequisites

  • Inputs set: For imported prescriptions, use Set or Change Input to link an Agworld product and (optionally) set pricing.

  • Approved status: Only approved prescriptions can be converted. (Express RX prescriptions can be approved immediately; imported ones require inputs first.)

  • Access: You have permission to assign operators/assets and create jobs.


Step-by-Step: Convert Prescriptions to Jobs

  1. Open Prescriptions

    • Go to Workflow Prescriptions.

    • Filter to Approved (optional) and select the prescription(s) you want to convert.

  2. Choose Conversion Type

    • Click Convert.

    • Pick Convert to Work Order or Convert to Recommendation based on your workflow.

  3. Decide on Single vs Multi-Bin

    • Create Multi-Bin Job: merges all selected prescriptions into one job (multiple bins/products).

    • Not selected: each prescription becomes its own job.

    • Tip: Use multi-bin to reduce paperwork and coordinate one pass across multiple products.

  4. Assign Responsibility

    • Operator company and/or operator user (can include connected third-party providers if enabled).

    • Confirm they have access; connected partners can log in to see the job.

  5. Select Assets/Machines

    • Choose the machine(s)/implement(s) that will run the job.

    • This helps ensure correct minimums/maximums in the field controller later.

  6. Set Scheduling & Details

    • Due date (and optional start window/notes if available in your account).

    • Verify rates, zones, and parameters (they carry across from the prescription).

    • Add instructions or safety notes for operators.

  7. Files & Delivery Options

    • The prescription file attaches automatically to the job.

    • Choose how operators will access controller/shapefiles:

      • Download from the job (web or mobile),

      • Or send to connected platforms (e.g., John Deere, Slingshot) if enabled.

    • Confirm file format/controller compatibility if your fleet mixes displays.

  8. Create the Job

    • Click Create / Confirm.

    • Status of the prescription(s) updates to Converted.

    • A link to the new job appears—open it to review details.

  9. Verify Operator Access

    • On iPad/phone apps, operators can open the job, see attached files, and download to the display (USB-C/Lightning workflows supported).

    • If the grower has access, they can view the job on web or mobile.

  10. Track & Manage

  • Converted jobs appear in Workflow and Planning/Farm Planning.

  • They contribute to nutrient management plans and product usage totals.

  • Use job status to monitor progress and completion.


Quick Checklist

  1. Set/confirm InputApprove prescription(s).

  2. Select prescription(s) → Convert → choose Work Order or Recommendation.

  3. (Optional) Create Multi-Bin Job to merge many into one.

  4. Assign Operator + Assets → set Due Date.

  5. Confirm files and delivery (download or send to platform).

  6. Create → status becomes Converted → share/execute.


Troubleshooting

  • Convert button disabled? Ensure inputs are set (for imports) and the prescription is Approved.

  • Missing files on the job? Reopen the job and verify the prescription attachment; re-attach if needed.

  • Operator can’t see the job? Check their company/user assignment and any third-party connection permissions.

  • Multiple jobs created by accident? Use Create Multi-Bin Job next time to merge selected prescriptions into a single work order.
