If you know that you will be fabricating or delivering material for a certain job on a certain day, but you haven't created all of the job's orders, use the  Reservations screen to reserve an estimated weight per job per day. Once entered, the record appears in the Scheduling grid with an orange icon. As weight is scheduled for the reserved job on the reserved day, weight is removed (subtracted) from the reservation record, until it reaches zero.
