    • Employee ID: EP00000027 (Carlos Cruz)
    • Shift: 0001
    • Labor Time: 01:30
    • Quantity: 3
  4. In the Summary area, do the following:
    1. Make sure that the today's date is specified in the Date box.
    2. In the Description box, specify Recording the time for assembly of 3 citrus juicers.
    3. Clear the Hold check box. The system changes the transaction status to Balanced.
  5. On the form toolbar, click Release. The system creates and releases the cost transaction to record labor costs, the inventory receipt to record the movement of the assembled juicers to the warehouse location, and the labor transaction itself.

Step 10: Closing the Production Order

Now you will close the production order. Do the following:

  1. On the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form, open the production order that the system created earlier in this activity.
