Record work order in ledger when marked as history. By default, as soon as a work order is finished it is posted to the internal ledger that All Orders uses for FIFO cost tracking. Turn this preference on if you do not want the work order to be recorded until the status is History. For more information see Understanding Work Order Status.

If a component on a Work Order is an assembly (otherwise known as a subassembly) then an additional Work Order may be created to produce that component before the initial Work Order can go into production. Turn on this preference to copy data that is in the custom fields of the initial Work Order to any additional Work Orders that are created for component which are assemblies.
