Re: Tracking and Costing Service Orders

We have similar scenarios in 405 CD.
IIC file.
We use alpha for ITEMS item classes.
We use numeric for non-item special fees thru customer orders. After these
get entered, they are sucked into next billing. Think different # per
unique scenario, team, person, where-ever want results into General Ledger.
Each unique # comes with a default description, to help person doing
customer orders, who can alter description each time.
That takes care of invoicing the customer for special services.

We use General Ledger adjustments to notice the costs.
Our payroll is outside of BPCS.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Tracking and Costing Service Orders

All,
We have an internal group of people that we call 'Field
Services' The will go to the customer site and trouble shoot, replace or
retro fit equipment and product.


My thinking is a line item on the Customer order, a shop
order for that line item (QTY 1), that contains the appropriate Routings for
the labor performed. ( this will be tough- 30 different people all different
rates) Bill of material will be what is known at the time.



Any advice, things to watch out for?
