Indicates whether the work order release function sets the status of the first operation to Queue.

• Yes sets the status for the first operation to Queue upon work order release.

• Sometimes this action is inappropriate. For example, if a lengthy picking effort is required, the work order often is not ready as soon as it is released. In that case, set this field to No. Once the picking is complete, use the Operation Move function to change the status to Q (Queue).

Indicates whether variances are only calculated and posted at the time of work order receipt.

• Yes processes variances when labor is entered in SFC. No holds labor, burden, and usage variances until work order receipt.
