The goal of this feature is to help you organize the steps (i.e. the process) that you use as components are assembled into a finished good Assembly. This "Process" is carried alongside the Bill of Materials. This is optional to use; you aren't required to use the Process feature in order to use Work Orders.

To summarize, you will define the Process in the same place you define the Bill of Materials (on the Product record). When the Work Order is created, the Process is transmitted to the Work Order in the same way as the Bill of Materials. Once the Work Order is created there are additional things you can do with the Process. Steps within the Process can be assigned to [or completed by] another user, the date/time started and completed can be tracked. There are short and long descriptions available for use, as well as a whole host of custom fields, dates and check boxes.
