 CHAPTER 5
JOB ORDER IDENTIFICATION AND CODING
1.
JOB ORDER NUMBERS AND FISCAL REQUIREMENTS. Every Specific and Standing
Job Order must be identified by a Job Order Number. The Navy Comptroller
Manual states in part, "It is desirable to keep the number of digits in a job
order to the minimum actually required in order to minimize the possibility of
error and save time in writing the job order number or expenditure documents
and in sorting such documents." This statement also applies when job order
numbers are entered on the labor job time card, material requests, and other
expenditure documents. For facilities management purposes more than seven
digits are cumbersome. The Navy Comptroller Manual also states in part, "No
navy-wide plan of numbering job orders is prescribed because of the variations
of requirements in the various naval activities . . . Generally, all that is
required fiscally is a number that will distinguish a job order from all other
job orders at the activity and provide an index to the job order itself or to
the master card that contains all of the detailed accounting information.
Therefore, the number will include in its structure a serial number which by
itself or in combination with other codes in the number will satisfy fiscal
needs ..." (See Table 5-1).
