I was also wondering about how that works. Is it actually in yet? Or is it just a "placeholder"?

You have to turn it in to the factory/trader you took the job from. It cannot be turned it just anywhere.

i got it at a trade station from the GIN console, not a factory.

You had accepted a job from a Vitalife Pharmaceuticals Factory. You never completed that job and instead paid for a work order for a mission you forgot; went to a completely different Vitalife that didn't give you a job and tried to hand in a work order for a job that factory never issued.
By accepting a mission from that second Vitalife, you voided the work order for the previous one you found.
You would now need to go back to a GIN console and get a new work order in order to give it to the Vitalife you have been to... or ya know, just finish the mission the vitalife guy gave you.
Work orders are not missions. You lose money on them in exchange for unlocking whichever factory they're for.

ok, thanks for the clarification

Interesting... Could they be missions? it seems a shame to have to lose money. 8-}

No the entire point is to bypass the actual missions to unlock the factory. The traders offer the missions.
