Option to disable auto Job Card creation on Work Order submit

Hello Community,

In ERPNext Manufacturing, when we submit a Work Order, Job Cards are auto-created for each operation.
This causes confusion in our workflow because we only want Job Cards when we create them manually (via the “Create Job Card” button).

Problem:

  • Extra Job Cards get created unnecessarily.
  • Even if deleted, IDs remain and cause audit confusion.

Expected:

  • An option in Manufacturing Settings or Work Order to disable auto Job Card creation.
  • Ability to create Job Cards only when needed, using the button.

Has anyone customized ERPNext for this already? Any recommended workaround (server script, app override, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You may keep the work orders in draft state.
