Print Work Orders Batch

Work Order can either print as individual Work Orders or as a list of Work Orders called a Log. There is a default flag that is set up in the Cycle Master, therefore you might want to check with your System Administrator to verify what your company is using. It may be a combination of both. This will determine if you use the Work Order Batch print or the Work Order Log Batch print.

 

From the Operations menu, select the Print Work Orders (Batch) option #2. The Work Order Selection screen will be displayed.
