Understanding Labor Assignment
When you know in advance the labor requirements for a particular task, you can set up standard labor instructions (labor details) for the task. You can copy from these instructions when you need to assign labor details for similar tasks.
After you have created a work order, you can manually assign labor details for any task for which you have not set up standard instructions.
You can specify which work center is responsible for each task on a work order. You can specify the sequence of operations for each task, as well as the labor rates and the number of hours that is necessary to complete each task.
You can delete any work order from the system unless it has any of these characteristics:
It is used as a parent work order.
It has any account ledger transactions associated with it.
It has a parts list or labor detail attached.
