If you do a WRKF FILE(AMFLIB/MOH*) FILEATR(PF) you'll find the MO history 
files.
MAPICS left the field names the same as the corresponding active file:

MOMAST - MOHMST
MODATA - MOHDTA
Etc.

You could just use the CPYF function as such with each file you need to 
copy:
CPYF FROMFILE(AMFLIBx/MOHMST) TOFILE(AMFLIBx/MOMAST) MBROPT(*ADD) 
INCREL((*
IF ORDNO *EQ 'Mxxxxxx0'))  FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP) 

After doing this, you'll need to change the order status to 55 or whatever 
you need.
You'll also want to change the ORLCD to 5 and the CLDT (Close date) to 0.

That will get the MO's back, since we don't use the payroll application 
I'm not sure what else you'd need.

We wrote a program that allows our users to do this and it also emails our 
cost accountants when this is done so they can make the adjusting GL 
entries.  I don't know if you interface with IFM or GL, but you don't want 
the full impact of the MO closing to hit the books twice. We don't use the 
Payroll application so there may be other considerations in doing this. 

Be VERY wary of quick fixes though, there's often consequences that make 
your life miserable later.
