  42) Select Action > Enter By Work Order
  
  43) From Enter By Work Order dialog, select an approved Work
  Order and click on Select Labor button

  At this point, system also throws the error "BMXAA2634E -
  Mismatches between labor, craft, skill level, vendor and
  contract are not allowed. Use the Select Value lookup to see a
  list of valid choices."
  
  So the issue is:
  
  Labor records whose Contract is the same as the Contract from
  the Default Craft are allowed to be selected. Labor records with
  a different Contract result in error.
  
  Additional information:
  
  As described in the steps below, if we select the option ?Allow
  Mismatched Craft and Labor When Reporting Actual Labor?? from
  Organizations application, the error changes to "BMXAA2528E -

  Mismatched Craft and Labor When Reporting Actual Labor?? and
