Printing Work Order History Reports
Work order history under the Reports, kits and View menu selections enable you to print or view work orders after they have been closed.
If you choose not to Use kits in Control information, you may skip this chapter.
After a work order has been closed (using Close work orders), it may be viewed or printed using these selections. Immediate work orders that have been issued may also be viewed or printed using these selections.
If the component usage transactions and/or kit assembly transaction for the work order have not yet been posted (using Inventory), then some or all of the cost information may be omitted from the Work Order History Report. This information will appear on the report after you post those inventory transactions.
