  2) Attach a calendar and
  shift e.g., assign labor 'wilson' to work 'DAY' calendar, 'DAY'
  shift Monday - Friday, 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM

  Go to
  Assignments tab, click New Row button. Enter labor 'WILSON' in
  the labor code
  Save the work orders

  'WILSON'

  6) Select all the
  work dates. Click Mass Modify button
  Enter a reason code and
  click OK.

  ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR: Receive a warning message:

  dates being later than the finish constraint date. Click OK to
  apply the date changes. Click Close to cancel the
  changes.
  BMXAA0159W - The new date will result in scheduled
  dates being later than the finish constraint date. Click OK to
  apply the date changes. Click Close to cancel the
  changes
  --------
  The message does not make sense. The message
  makes the user think that if they click the close button, labor
  will be not be unassigned.
  
  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: Show a message
  the labor was unassigned with the work order number and labor
  code
