previously. Make sure
the resource is costed
and set the rate to 1
dollar.

department. Use the screen below for navigation.

opens you can query up the
department you wish to add
the resource too. You can
then press the

The only differences you will see are the following:

When the work orders are released from the workbench, if there are OSP
operations, then a background process called requisition import will run
to create the requisitions for the OSP items.
When the OSP items are received, they are NOT received into stock but
instead into the Work Order.
Below is a flow diagram of the OSP process.
