When you display the Costs tab of the Work Order Notebook, you see current information, including the last transaction posted. Costs being posted to a work order can originate from various sources.
From the Inventory module, you can post costs through Inventory Issues. If there is unused material, stores personnel use the Inventory Returns window to credit the work order for those costs.
Using the Resources module, you usually make daily postings to the Worker Time field for time spent on work orders the previous day. With each posting of a transaction to the database, TabWare extends hours worked into labor cost and posts the cost to the work order as well as the equipment location.
You can use the Work Order Cost Posting window to enter costs to work orders for labor, materials, and services instead of using a dedicated function such as Worker Time Reporting for posting labor. Keep in mind that you cannot post worker time if you are changing the status of the work order to 79—Closed for Charges.
