Setting this flag to "N", there will be no prompt.

5495 - Make Job Notes Mandatory (Y/N)? - Default value is N to preserve the current functionality. When set to Y job notes for work orders will be required to set a job's status to DON. This applies to the Work Order Main, Work Order Express, and Labor Wedge frames for Work Orders in Open Status only. (Jobs added to completed/closed work orders, by definition, default to DON status. Users are not "setting" the status, thus this functionality does not apply/notes are not required.) Note: auto-generated job notes do not qualify when the flag is set to Y. Any system-generated notes are not considered to be valid job notes for this functionality. When set to N job note functionality will work as previously designed (job notes are not required to set a job's status to DON).
