PDQ Deploy doesn't WOL but PDQ Inventory does?

I just activated a 14 day pro trial of both PDQ Deploy and Inventory to see if the Wake on Lan setting will work for our network. I noticed that on PDQ Deploy even though I have WOL before deploying setup in preferences the error "device offline" still comes up. With PDQ Inventory it seems computers wake up as they are suppose to before the scan. Everything works fine with PDQ Deploy when they are awake, why doesn't WOL work with the deployment option?

Another thought, using PDQ inventory to do the scan if it can be set to a schedule shortly before pdq inventory may be a work around. However I'd be concerned about the scans/deployments going out of order and having some computers miss the packages because they were not woken up in the same order as PDQ deploy tried to pass them out.
