Move Labor or Tool Resources to Purchase/On Hand

The scheduler can click the Move Selected to Purchase button above the Labor Schedules grid and above the Tools Schedules grid to send a selected resource to the Purchase/On Hand grid. When the scheduler selects the resource that requires procurement, such as a special tool, and clicks the Move Selected to Purchase button, the tool row is no longer available for selection in the Tool Schedules grid and now appears in the Purchase/On-Hand Schedules grid. The scheduler then selects the tool in the Purchase/On-Hand Schedules grid and creates a requisition or PO to purchase the tool. Once the tool is procured, the status of the tool in the Tool Schedules row changes to procured. The Move Selected to Purchase button works the same way for a selected labor resource and is often used when contract labor is needed for a task.
