Service work orders differentiate from other types in two significant points: You don't need to specify a document type when receiving a finished product. Secondly, open the document type of issue under Goods | Issue | Document. (Normally, the issue slip of "Internal" (Goods | Issue | Internal) type is set for other work order types.) After confirming work order the service invoice template is opened instead of internal document of issue.

Let us look at the example of car service as presented in the introductory topic and create a product specification. Set item type 701, type U - Compound Service. Enter specification for this type of service: select 6A0 - Services for document type of manufacturing.

Issue a work order including 1 service.

You can process work orders just like using document type = 600. The only difference is that you cannot confirm issues or receiving. You can only confirm the WO.

Having confirmed the WO, opens a service invoice template.

Services and materials from specification are included in lines of document. Additionally, you can observe relevant sales prices and tax types!

Timetable

Besides Work Orders and Linked Documents tabs, there is a timetable available in the 6AO - Services window. Use it to enter and sort individual services.

It is intended for repair services and other services where individual activity is fixed according to the available date. Furthermore, it can be used as schedule and timetable.

You can also display it in form of a Gantt chart.
