RE: Closing Manufacturing Orders

["McCready, Joan" <Joan.McCready@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mr. Schramm -

 

In a perfect world, every work order reaches status 55.  I don't live in a perfect world - approximately 0% of our MO's ever reach status 55, and we don't have the manpower to go back and "pretty up" the MOs so they are at status 55!  So they are manually closed, one by one - usually sitting at status 45.

Er, ah, I may not understand everything here, but orders can be selected by
date if labor and material are complete (status 55).  This is a simple
process, and is designed to ensure that all data has been entered before the
order is closed.
