Bulk Edit Work Steps Across Multiple Production Orders

Overview

Manufacton is designed to capture data at the work interface in real time.  There are instances when capturing the actual time when the work is completed is not optimal or is impractical.  For these instances, Manufacton allows a common Work Step that appears in multiple Production Orders to have its actual hour entered at once.
