Defining the bill of operations (BOO)

A bill of operations (BOO) is a list of work hours for completing tasks that are required to develop a product. Defining the BOO for your style enables you to monitor individual man hours that go into a job. The BOO also details the cost that goes to labor expenses.

You can define a bill of operations for your style by adding operations or operation lists.
