The New Work Order Window is accessed through the Purchase and Work Orders Window and clicking the Add button.  This window shows all Components in a Project and allows you to "tag" or select Components to appear on Work Orders to Workrooms. Once you have tagged the Components needed for a Work Order, you can print a copy of the Work Orders(s).  If the information on the Work Order(s) appears to be correct, you can then "Accept" the Work Order(s) and they will be processed into Design Manager.
