This feature adds another layer of administrative control over your work orders.
Work order’s status is not always black-and-white. Parts’ shortage or insufficient labor resources can effect the manufacturing process, but how can you still manage these work orders?
Well, with this new feature work orders can be categorized, recorded, and additional details can be added to the work order and its lifecycle.
From now on you can customize your work order statuses to get a whole and complete picture of your Manufacturing.
