Narrative:
Manufacturing duct 1761 off a repair shop order using engineering service order as the authority/authorized. As of oct/thu/02, engineering service order does not give manufacturing authority/authorized for duct 1761. From my knowledge we are able to make repair sections for a duct from engineering service order, but not authority/authorized to manufacture entire assemblies.
