There are 4-character fields that are limited to 1, 4, 18, and 30 characters respectively. The field descriptions are set in File — System Manager — Company Details Maintenance window Descriptions tab pane.

Options – Ignored by MRP
Ignored by MRP flag.

Controls whether a full Bill of Materials is listed at the end of the printed Work Order document.
Assembly details
This tab pane is the Assembly Details subwindow. See that topic for details.
Change Route… button
Click to amend the route operations that will apply to this Work Order.
This button control opens the Work Order Operation List Maintenance window to permit changes to the operational route for the WO.
There are some rules and restrictions that apply:
Any change can be made to the operations of a WO before it has been saved to the database.
If the WO has not been kitted or backflushed, changes can be made to the operations.
If any outwork operation has been placed on a Purchase Order or RFQ, that operation cannot have it’s operation number or work centre changed while it is still subject to a PO or RFQ.
If some of the WO has been received, or Shopfloor data collected for the final operation, the final operation number cannot be removed or changed, nor can a higher operation number be added to the WO route. However, the details of the final operation, including Work Centre, can be changed.
If an assembly has a Process Route, you cannot eliminate all operations for a particular Work Order. At least one must remain.
Actions
Kit Immediately
Check this for a full kit issue of the WO with no shortages when you save a new WO.
This option in processing is only available at the time you create the Work Order and only then if it is not to be Backflushed. If you check this control, at the time you confirm the creation of the Work Order, the full kit for the quantity of the assembly will be issued from inventory. No shortages are ever produced. However, the process of allocating stock is by-passed.
Print Picking List
Check this to print the WO Picking List when you save.
Print Work Order
Check this to print the Work Order when you save.
Revert button
To revert any changes to the previously saved version.
Save button
