Adding Comments to Work Order Processes

Use the Comments screen to add instructions to a step in the process. You can write order-specific comments or choose from a list of standard comments. If you have the Display Process Comments in Work Order Processing Body control maintenance record set to Y (yes), this information prints in the header area on the work order, and appears on-screen just below the step to which it refers.

Standard comments are defined in the Valid Vendor Work Order Processing Codes control maintenance record.

Adding a comment to a process:

Enter or open a work order.
Position your cursor on a process (line item) and use the Comment hot key to display the Comments screen.
