Pull down the Manufacture module menu.
Select the Work Order submenu.
Select the New option.
The following screen will appear:

New Work Order for YTRUCK1

Once you have the Work Order screen open, follow these steps:

Enter "YTRUCK1" in the Item Number field.
Specify a quantity of 100.
Choose a due date and the start date will be calculated for you based on lead times.
Check the Show Operations option.

We will need to reopen the work order for editing so we can post operations. To open the work order for editing, go to the Work Order Schedule screen and right-click on the work order to edit it. If you haven't done that before, here are the steps:

Pull down the Manufacture module menu.
Select the Reports submenu.
