Item Status: You can customize this drop down field in Setup > Company > Lists > Item Status. Examples of statuses would be "staged" or "waiting for PO". On the Material tab on the order, you will see a Item Status column (image below)

Item Estimated Labor Hours: When you setup your inventory item, you can enter the estimated labor hour associated with the part.
Total Estimated Labor Hours: This will take the estimated labor hours multiplied by the quantity of the part on the order.
Create Labor Records: Check this and when the material is added to the order, a labor item for the total labor hours will open.
Need to order (Force JIT): if this is checked, SME will not try to allocate stock for the item. The Link Status will be Has JIT Items and you'll need to place a PO for the item.

Vendor: This field will be populated automatically with the default vendor on your inventory item. This is set on the Inventory Item > Ordering Information tab > Vendor field.
