Setup cost for planned manhours in Product structure (KITART) and inspect and edit the planned manhours in Production structures (KITDOC)

This procedure allows the user to add variable planned manhours to Operations (OPR) included in Product structures (KITART), that have Production resources (RESCONFIG) setup to log manhours.

The planned man hours are specified per unit produced, this means that if an Operation (OPR) has a planned manhours of one (1), setup in the Structure operation item (KITARTOPRITM), then the value will be 1*Net quantity of the Production work order (PWO) in the Structure operation item (KITDOCOPRITM).

Manhours can be only be added or edited while Product structures (KITART) and Production structures (KITDOC) are in Status 1 - Draft
