Starting labor hours reporting for a service order using the Work Center form

The non-workset-enabled employees can only start labor hours reporting for a service order. To add service order labor to a workset or to start a workset, use the Workset Maintenance form. Select Maintain to open this form. See Managing Worksets for more information.
