Answer / krishna chaitanya
if we want region more or less than specified on job card we
will alter that value for particular step ,by specifieing at
step level.here dominated value is step region value.
for ex: u give regio=10 at job and region=6 at step it will
take 6 for that step only,and for other step u take 20 it
take 20 for that step only if u could not mention any thing
in step it will take region value 10 at job card.
