Workshop Order (Part 1) Budgeted Costs to Service Completion
Workshop Order Part 1 Budgeted Costs to Service Completion
NOTE: Workshop orders are generated either manually from the Workshop Order application or
automatically from scheduled service action processing . This document will walk you through creating a workshop order (without scheduled service) from the Workshop Entry screen.
Workshop orders are used to track time and materials for repairs on equipment. When creating a new Workshop Order you are essentially assigning it the “Budget”, Actual Costs come into the Workshop Order via CMiC from selecting the Equipment WO # in Timecard Entry, Accounts Payable or when a JC Journal Entry is done as a correction for cost that was inadvertently not coded to the existing workshop order. Journal Entries credit the cost from Phase/Category and debit same cost to Phase/Category/Workshop Order # so the actual cost will then integrate into Rental Results.
Service types fall into two (2) Categories. Billable to a job or Non Billable in which case all costs are absorbed by the Yard OH. You will use the same Workshop Order entry process for either type whether you are Billing back to a Job or charging the Yard OH Business Unit. The only difference being the Billable to the Job will require Workshop Order Billing to be run during month end billing process to generate the Bill.
Service Types default to Billable and Not Billable as shown below and will likewise determine whether to generate invoice or not generate invoice accordingly.
