When a Works Order is created, the component details are copied from the components on the Bill of Materials for the built item. If version control is in use, the Active version of the BOM is used.
Like with stock components, you can also add, edit or remove comments, if the comments required for an order differ from those defined on the bill of materials.

1. From the Components tab, click on the Add dropdown, then select Add Comment.
2. Enter the comment text. Rich text features can be used to format the text as required.
Rich Text Notes
Comment line text can be enhanced by using Rich Text formatting features. These features can be used, for example, to highlight important instructions to production staff.
The font type, size and colour can be set to the whole text, or just to specific words or sections. Similarly, text can be made bold, underlined, or italicised.
Rich Text features can also be applied to Bill of Materials Notes and Bill of Materials operations Notes.
Note: Rich Text formatting can be used in Sage layouts, but this requires the layouts to be produced using Crystal Reports instead of the standard Report Designer.
To apply rich text features, highlight the section of text to format then choose from the Rich Text formatting options:
- Font Style : Select the preferred font style from the drop-down list.
- Font Size : Select the preferred font size from the drop-down list.
- Bold : Click to set/unset the selected text as Bold.
- Italic : Click to set/unset the selected text as Italicised.
- Underline : Click to set/unset the selected text as underlined.
- Font Colour : Select the preferred font colour from the palette.
3. Tick Show comment line in enquiries/reports to include the comment text on screens and prints.
4. Click OK to complete the comment and add it to the components list.
