What it is for
Pick the Maintenance Order, then an Operation: only operations not yet confirmed as completed are offered. Tick Completed when the operation is finished (Remaining Work becomes 0). The Resource Utilization tab records who worked and how long; the Item tab what was used (item and quantity above zero).
Saving a confirmation does not issue the items from stock and posts nothing. Issue spare parts with an inventory issue (Item Issue).
