Display only, the quote associated with this work order scope.

Ready for Review

The Ready for Review drop-down on the SM Work Order form, Search section.

Use this option to search for work orders that are ready for review (that is, work orders that are ready to bill and require review and approval). Select one of the following:

Primary Reviewer vs. Alternate Reviewer

The system uses the following hierarchy to determine primary and alternate reviewers.

  • Work Order
  • Service Site
  • Customer
  • Division
  • Service Center

For example if a reviewer is found at the work order level, that reviewer (along with its authorized users) becomes the primary reviewer. Reviewers found at higher levels (service site, customer, division, and service center) become alternate reviewers. If a reviewer is not found at the work order level, the system continues searching at each level until a reviewer is found. The first reviewer found becomes the primary reviewer and reviewers found at the higher levels become alternate reviewers.

Reviewer

Reviewer field on the SM Work Order form, Search section.

This field is enabled once you select an option in the Ready for Review drop-down.

If you are an authorized user for multiple reviewers and you want to filter work orders by a specific reviewer (for which you are an authorized user), enter the reviewer here. Press F4 to select from a list of reviewers for which you are an authorized user.

Description

The Description field on the SM Work Orders form, header Info tab.

Enter a description for this work order. This will typically be a description of the problem, maintenance request, or any other service being requested. Space allowance is virtually unlimited.

Site

The Site field on the SM Work Orders form, header Info tab.

Enter the service site requesting the service work. Press F4 for a list of valid service sites.

If the work order is for a new service site, press F5 to access SM Service Sites and set up the service site. Once you return to this form, enter the new service site here.

Note: For customer work orders:
  • If the customer is 'on hold' in AR Customers, a message displays indicating that the selected customer is currently on credit hold in AR; however, the entry is allowed.

  • If the customer is 'inactive' in AR Customers, a message displays indicating that the selected customer is inactive; you will be unable to save the record.

Note: For job work orders:
  • If the job is hard or soft-closed and you do not allow posting to closed jobs (i.e. the Allow Posting to Hard-Closed Jobs and/or Allow Posting to Soft-Closed Jobs boxes are unchecked in JC Company Parameters), a message displays indicating that the job is closed; and you will be unable to save the record.

Changing the Service Site

You can change the service site on an existing work order if:

  • no billings have occurred

  • the work order was not generated from a quote or an agreement

  • all work completed lines (if any) have a status of 'Provisional'

When you successfully change a service site, the system:

  • updates the customer or job accordingly

  • updates contact information and leaves requested by information intact

  • updates the default service center and clears the division on each scope if not valid for the new service center

  • updates the pricing method to T&M if the new site is a job site or to non-billable if the new site is flagged as non-billable; otherwise, leaves the pricing method 'as is'

  • updates the bill to information, rate template, tax source, tax type, and tax code for each scope accordingly (customer work orders only)

  • removes all agreement-related information if the new site is a job site and agreement-related scopes were added manually

  • removes existing standard charges (if applicable) and adds those defined for the new service site

  • removes the scope phases if changing from one job site to another and the phases are not valid for the new job

Type

The Type drop-down on the SM Work Orders form, header Info tab.

This field is only enabled until you select a service site for the work order. Once the service site is selected, this field populates based on whether it is a customer service site or a job service site.

PR State

For customer work orders only.

Enter the state where the work being done for this work order is located. Initially defaults the state designated in the service site's address (in SM Service Sites).

The system may use this state as the default tax, unemployment, and/or insurance state on timecards referencing this work order in PR Timecard Entry, depending on the "Use Job/SM Work Order" settings in PR Company Parameters (State/Local tab) and the "Always use Employee's Work/Resident" settings in PR Employees. For more information about these settings, see the F1 help.

Note: For information about state defaults for labor hours posted to job-related SM work orders, see the Ins State , Tax State , and Unemp State F1 help in PR Timecard Entry.

PR Local Code

Enter the local code that identifies the city, county, or other taxing district in which the work being performed for this work order is located. Defaults the local code defined for the service site specified on this work order. Press F4 for a list of valid local codes (defined in PR Local Codes).

The system may use this code as the default local code on timecards referencing this work order in PR Timecard Entry, depending on how you set the Use Job, SM Work Order or Office Local for Local Tax checkbox in PR Company Parameters (State/Local tab) and the Always Use Employee's Work/Resident Local Code checkbox in PR Employees.

The following table displays how timecards will default this code based on these two checkboxes.

Use Job, SM WO, or Office Local

Job

Applicable to job work orders only.

Display only, the job associated with the specified service site.

Tip: You can press F5 to access the JC Jobs form for additional information about the job.
Note: If the job is hard or soft-closed and you do not allow posting to closed jobs (i.e. the Allow Posting to Hard-Closed Jobs and/or Allow Posting to Soft-Closed Jobs boxes are unchecked in JC Company Parameters), a message displays indicating that the job is closed; and you will be unable to save the record.

Costing Method

The Costing Method drop-down on the SM Work Orders form, header Info tab.

This field is only displayed and enabled for job work orders.

Required.

Specify how costs will be sent to Job Cost for work completed on this job work order. Initially defaults the setting defined for the service site.

  • Actual Cost - Select this option to send actual costs to Job Cost. When entering work completed for this work order, the system sets the Total Billable equal to the Total Actual Cost and sends this amount to Job Cost.
    Note: For work completed Equip, Misc, and Inventory lines, the billable amount is sent to Job Cost once you save the work completed line. For work completed Labor lines, actual costs are updated to Job Cost once you process payroll and run PR Ledger Update. For work completed Purchase lines, actual costs are updated to Job Cost once you pay the invoice in AP Transaction Entry.
  • Markup - Select this option to send revenue (cost + markup) as cost to Job Cost. When capturing work completed, the system calculates the billable amount based on the rate template assigned to the work order scope, and sends this amount as cost to JC.
    Note: For Labor and Purchase lines, actual costs are updated to the corresponding work completed line and the billable amount recalculated. The system then sends the new billable amount to Job Cost.

Once you begin entering work completed, this field is disabled and cannot be changed. The only time this does not apply is when all work completed lines on the work order are miscellaneous work completed lines with a "provisional" status (those auto-added to the work order from standard charges or miscellaneous requirements). In this case, this field is enabled and will remain so until you manually enter one or more work completed lines of any type.

Lead Tech

Enter the lead technician for this work order or press F4 to select from a list of preferred site technicians, preferred customer technicians, active technicians, or all technicians.

Leave this field blank to have the system auto-assign a lead technician using the technician from the first trip you create for the work order. If you do not assign a technician when first creating trips, the system will use the first technician assigned to any trip on the work order. You may override the auto-assignment as needed.

Agreement Work Orders

If you generated this work order from an agreement (using SM Generate PM Work Orders), this field defaults the Assigned Tech designated for the agreement service. If you did not assign a technician to the agreement service, this field defaults the primary technician designated for the related service site.

Reviewer

Reviewer field on the SM Work Order field, Work Order header section.

Enter a reviewer’s ID in the Reviewer field, so that reviewer can select work orders as ready-to-bill and so that any applicable unapproved invoices in accounts payable will get this reviewer assigned by default. Press F4 for a list of active reviewers.

If you leave this field blank, reviewers set at any of the following fields will be able to review this work order:

  • SM Service Site

  • SM Customer

  • SM Service Division

  • SM Service Center

Center

Required.

Enter the service center that will be performing the service work on this work order.

  • Although you are not initially required to enter a service center when adding a work order, you will be required to assign a service center before you can capture work completed or create invoices.

  • For work orders with an agreement, this field is disabled. If the work order doesn't have an agreement, you may change the service center. If you change the service center for a work order and save it, any costs or billings that have been captured will need adjusting entries to be posted to the GL, if the GL accounts differ based on the service center change.

Site Contact: Name

Enter the name of the contact for the specified service site. Initially defaults the Default Contact from the service site, if applicable.

  • The contact specified here can be a site or customer contact, or any contact not already set up for the site or customer. Press F4 for a list of valid site contacts, customer contacts, or HQ contacts.

  • You can also set up a contact on-the-fly by pressing F5 to access the HQ Contacts form. Once you have set up the contact and returned to this form, you can enter the new contact here. Be aware that setting up a new contact in HQ Contacts and adding them to a work order here does not automatically set them up as a customer contact (in SM Customers) or a site contact (in SM Service Sites).

Site Contact: Phone

Enter the phone number of the site contact specified above. Initially defaults the phone number defined for the site contact (in HQ Contacts) specified above.

Requested By: Name

Enter the name of the person who made the service request.

Requested By: Date

Enter the date this service request was made. Initially defaults the current date.

Requested By: Phone

Enter the phone number of the person who made the service request.

Note: If you specified a site, customer, or HQ contact, this field will automatically default the phone number specified for the contact in HQ contacts. If you specified a Caller Phone number in SM Call Handler, it will appear here. May be overridden as necessary.

Requested By: Time

Enter the time this service request was made. Initially defaults the current time.

Certified Payroll

For customer work orders only.

Check this box if this work order should be included in certified payroll reporting. When running Certified Payroll reports (e.g. PR Certified Payroll Transcript, PR Certified Report with Liabilities, etc.), if you specify to include SM work orders, the report will include this work order.

Leave this box unchecked to exclude this work order from certified payroll reporting.

Note: This field defaults the setting specified for this work order's service site in SM Service Sites.

Start Date for Certifieds

This field displays only on non-Job work orders.

If you are including this job on certified payroll reports, enter the start date for certified payrolls (should be the date labor actually started on this work order). This date will be used to calculate the week number on the certified payroll reports (e.g. PR Certified Payroll Transcript, PR Certified Report with Liabilities, etc.).

Craft Template

For Customer work orders only.

Enter the craft template for this work order or press F4 to select from a list of valid craft templates (set up in PR Templates) for the PR Co associated with this SM Company. Initially defaults the craft template specified for the service site (in SM Service Sites). If you did not assign a craft template to the service site, this field defaults as blank.

The system will use this template to determine craft/class pay rate defaults in PR Timecard Entry for labor hours posted to this work order. If you leave this field blank, the system will determine the employee's pay rate using the standard hierarchy. See Crafts, Classes, and Templates in the Payroll online help for more information.

Ready To Bill

The Ready to Bill checkbox on the SM Work Order form, Header Info tab.

Select this checkbox to if the work completed item is ready to bill.

This checkbox allows you to mark all items and scopes for the work order as ready-to-bill.

If your log-in is associated with a reviewer on the work order, then you are able to select this checkbox. However it does not appear if you are not a reviewer for the work order.

Note:

If the Ready To Bill checkbox is in an "indeterminate" state (meaning that it is neither selected nor unselected), this means that at least one scope is not ready to bill.

Seq

Enter N, New, or + to add a new work order sequence; the system will automatically assign the next sequential number.

Note: When adding a new work order, the system will automatically add a single work order sequence and skip this field. However, if you have set up F3 overrides at the scope level for default behaviors or added "required value" validation, this may impact the system's ability to auto-add and save the work order scope. If the defaults are invalid (e.g. you default a call type that has since be deactivated) or you require entry in a field and do not auto-default a value, the system will display an error indicating the problem. Although it will 'create' the scope, you will be unable to save the record until the correct information has been entered.

Scope

Enter the work scope (set up in SM Work Scopes) that represents the work to be done on this work order sequence.

If this work order was generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the work scope from the quote sequence. May be overridden.

  • 1-Within — Select this option if this work order due within a specified time-frame. When selected, both date fields (right) are enabled. Use these fields to enter the beginning and ending date in the "due within" date range.
Note: These fields are informational only; however, if you are using SM Work Centers, the specified dates can be used to identify overdue work orders (Items > Hot Lists > Overdue Work Orders).
  • If you generated this work order using SM Generate PM Work Orders, this field defaults based on the scheduling options defined for the agreement service (in SM Work Schedule, Schedule tab) and cannot be changed.
  • If you generated this work order from a work order quote, this field defaults from the quote sequence. May be overridden as needed.

Start Date

This field is only enabled when due date type is 1-Within.

Enter the beginning date in a range of dates within which the work order scope is due.

Note: This field is informational only; however, if you are using SM Work Centers, this date can be used to identify overdue work orders (Items > Hot Lists > Overdue Work Orders).
  • If you generated this work order using SM Generate PM Work Orders, this field defaults based on the scheduling options defined for the agreement service (in SM Work Schedule, Schedule tab) and cannot be changed.
  • If you generated this work order from a work order quote, this field defaults from the quote sequence. May be overridden as needed.

End Date

This field is enabled when due date type is 0-By or 1-Within.

Enter the service center division for this work order scope or press F4 for a list of valid divisions for the specified service center. This will generally be the division that handles the type of work defined for this scope.

  • If you generated this work order using SM Generate PM Work Orders, this field defaults the division specified for the agreement service (if applicable). May be overridden.

  • If this work order was generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the division specified for the quote sequence. May be overridden.

Call Type

The Call Type field on the SM Work Orders form, scope Info tab.

Enter the call type (from SM Call Types) for this work order scope. Press F4 to select from a list of call types by service center or all call types. If you specified a division for the work order scope, you will also have the option to view call types by division.

This field defaults as follows:

  • For manually created work orders, this field defaults as blank.

  • For work orders generated from service call (via SM Call Handler), this field defaults the call type specified for the service call. May be overridden.
  • For work orders generated from a work order quote (via SM Work Order Quotes), this field defaults the call type specified for the quote sequence. May be overridden.

  • For work orders generated from an agreement (via SM Generate PM Work Orders), this field defaults the call type specified for the agreement service (in SM Service) and is disabled.

Note: Although you are not required to enter a call type when adding sequences to a work order or entering work completed, you will be required to assign a call type before you can close the work order scope.
Note: It is important to note that assigning a call type after you have entered/invoiced work completed will affect the cost and revenue accounts if tracking WIP for the call type and/or if overrides exist in SM Departments for the call type.Changing the Call Type

You can change the call type for any work order (except for those generated from an agreement), regardless of whether you have entered work completed, billed the work order, or closed the scope. For more information, see Changing Call Types.

  • If the work order scope was generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the material tax override specified on the quote scope.
  • If you manually entered this work order and specified a call type for the work order scope, this field defaults the material tax override specified for the call type. If you did not enter a call type, this field defaults as blank.

Assignment

Enter an assignment number, or press F4 for the SM Assignment Lookup from which to select an assignment number. Press F5 to connect to the SM Assignments form.

Tax Option Override

The Tax Option Override drop-down on the SM Work Orders form, Info tab of the scope section.

This field defaults the Tax Option Override defined for the agreement, agreement service, or work order quote scope associated with this work order scope, or it defaults as blank if no overrides were defined at those levels or if the work order scope was manually entered.

If you want to override the default, choose one of the override options listed below. The system uses the option selected here to determine the taxability of work completed lines associated with this work order scope.

If you leave this field blank, the system uses the Tax Option defined for the Call Type associated with the work order scope instead.

Note: Changing the work order scope Call Type will not affect the value selected in this field.
Note: Work completed lines associated with Flat Price or Non-Billable work order scopes are non-billable; therefore, taxes may only be applied at the time of purchase (cost tax). If you select an option other than N-Not Taxable or P-Taxable at Purchase Only for these scopes, the system ignores the bill tax portion.

Additionally, you can only apply cost tax to Misc, Inventory, and Purchase lines; you cannot apply cost tax to Equip or Labor work completed lines.

  • N - Not Taxable - Do not apply taxes at the time of purchase or billing. The cost and billing tax types and tax codes default as blank, regardless of whether the SM cost type specified for the work completed line is taxable. You may override the defaults as needed.
  • P - Taxable at Purchase Only - Apply taxes at the time of purchase only. If the cost type is taxable, the Cost Tax Type defaults based on the Matl Tax Override option specified for the work order scope and the Cost Tax Code defaults from the service site or service center depending on the Tax Source defined for the work order scope. The billing tax type and billing tax code default as blank. If the cost type is not taxable or no cost type is specified, all tax fields default as blank. You may override as needed.
  • B - Taxable at Billing Only - Apply taxes at the time of billing only. If the line's cost type is taxable, the billing tax type and billing tax code default to the Tax Type and Tax Code specified for the work order scope. The Cost Tax Type and Cost Tax Code default as blank. If the cost type is not taxable, all tax fields default as blank. You may override the defaults as needed.
  • M - Taxable at Purchase/Markup at Billing - Apply taxes at the time of purchase and also apply taxes to the markup amount at the time of billing. If the line's cost type is taxable, the Cost Tax Type defaults based on the Matl Tax Override option specified for the work order scope and the Cost Tax Code defaults from the service site or service center depending on the Tax Source defined for the work order scope. The billing tax type and tax code default to the Tax Type and Tax Code specified for the work order scope; however, the tax basis defaults the markup amount only. If the line's cost type is not taxable, all tax fields default as blank. You may override the defaults as needed.
    Note: For taxable purchases, the bill tax basis is reduced by the amount that was previously taxed at the time costs were recorded. If you did not capture taxes when recording costs, there is no credit to apply to the transaction at billing; therefore, the bill tax basis is calculated using the full billing subtotal, not just the markup.
  • F - Full Tax at Purchase and Billing - Apply tax fully at time of purchase and at time of billing. If the line's cost type is taxable, the Cost Tax Type defaults based on the Matl Tax Override option specified for the work order scope, and the Cost Tax Code defaults from the service site or service center, depending on the Tax Source defined for the work order scope. The billing tax type and billing tax code default to the Tax Type and Tax Code specified for the work order scope, and the tax basis defaults the full billable amount. If the line's cost type is not taxable, all tax fields default as blank. You may override the defaults as needed.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition drop-down list on scope section of the SM Work Orders form, Info tab.

Select how to recognize revenue:

  • B - As Billed - (default) select this option to have revenue recognized as it is billed

  • C - As Costs Incurred - select this option to have revenue recognized as costs are incurred

Rate Template

Enter the rate template (from SM Rate Templates) for this work order scope. Initially defaults the rate template as follows:

  • Customer Work Orders - Defaults the rate template from the service site or customer (if no rate template is assigned to the service site). If you did not assign a rate template to the service site or customer, this field defaults as blank.

  • Job Work Orders - Defaults the rate template from the service site or as blank if no rate template is assigned to the service site.

  • Auto-Generated Agreement Work Orders - For Time and Material price method only, defaults the rate template associated with the agreement service and is disabled. Cannot be changed.

  • Manually Added Agreement Work Orders - Defaults the rate template from the agreement or blank if no rate template is assigned to the agreement.

    Note: A rate template must be assigned to the agreement if you plan to use agreement rates for work completed (by selecting the Agreement Rates checkbox for the work order scope or the work completed line). If you did not assign a rate template to the agreement, you must leave the Agreement Rates box unchecked and enter a rate template here.

The rate template specified here will be used to determine billable rates for equipment, labor, inventory, and purchase lines associated with this work order scope.

Note: You are not required to enter a rate template in order to save the work order scope; however, you will need to assign a rate template in order to invoice billable work completed lines.
Note: For job work orders using the Markup Cost Method , the rate template is used to calculate the billable amounts that will be sent as costs to Job Cost. Therefore, you must assign a rate template to the scope before you can:
  • enter work completed in SM Work Orders

  • run PR Ledger Update for labor lines entered directly in Payroll

  • post an invoice batch for SM purchase orders or for miscellaneous lines entered directly in AP Transaction Entry

Note: If you change the setting of this option, the system will automatically update the coverage and pricing for all related work completed lines accordingly.
  • Work order scopes generated from an agreement service that have a pricing method of T-Time of Service and type of R-Rate Template will not display this checkbox; however, the system will use the rate template associated with the agreement service to calculate billable rates.

Price Method

The Price Method drop-down on the SM Work Orders form, scope Info tab.

This field displays for customer work orders only.

Select the price method for this work order scope:

  • N - Non-Billable — Select this option if you are not charging for work covered by this work order scope. The system automatically defaults this option for all work orders referencing a service site with the Non-Billable checkbox selected in SM Service Sites.
  • T - Time and Material — Select this option to bill work completed using the rate template assigned to the work order scope. The system automatically defaults this option for all work orders referencing a service site with the Non-Billable checkbox unselected in SM Service Sites.

Margin field on scope section of the SM Work Orders form, Info tab.

This field displays for Flat Price work order scopes only.

Enter the expected margin percentage to apply when recognizing revenue for this flat price scope. If you created this work order from a work order quote (via SM Work Order Quotes), this field defaults the margin specified for the quote scope.

During the revenue recognition process (in SM Revenue Recognize), the system determines the revenue to recognize by applying the margin to the sum of all associated costs.

For example, if the total cost posted to the scope is $2,500 and the margin is 20%, the recognized revenue will be $3000 ($2,500.00 x 1.2 = 3,000.00).
Note: When recognizing revenue for flat price scopes, the system will not exceed the Flat Price amount. If the total costs plus the margin will exceed the Flat Price amount, the system will stop recognizing revenue at the Flat Price amount.

Ready To Bill

The Ready to Bill checkbox on the SM Work Orders form, scope Info tab.

This checkbox only displays for work orders where you specify a Price Method of F-Flat Price or T-Time and Material .

  • Selecting Ready To Bill for Time and Material marks all line items as Ready to Bill for that scope

    Note: If the Ready To Bill checkbox is in an "indeterminate" state for Time and Material (meaning that it is neither selected nor unselected), this means that at least one work item line (but fewer than all) is marked as Ready to Bill
  • Selecting Ready To Bill for Flat Price provides you with a Partial Bill option, which gives you with an editable Amount field which allows you to bill less than the full amount (it defaults to the amount remaining to be billed). The related percentage field is also editable, and reflects the percentage of the figure in the Amount field, and vice versa.

    Note: If the Ready To Bill checkbox is in an "indeterminate" state for Flat Price (meaning that it is neither selected nor unselected), this means that the full amount is not billable (meaning the full amount has been adjusted to a partial amount in the Amount field or billing amount percentage fields.

Partial Bill

This checkbox only displays for work orders where you specify a Price Method of F-Flat Price and is only selectable if you have selected the Ready To Bill checkbox.

When you select Partial Bill, you are able to adjust both the amount in the Amount field (which defaults to the amount remaining to be billed) , and the billing amount percentage field (which reflects the percentage of the total ready-to-bill amount in the Price field).

Not to Exceed

This field only displays if the Price Method is T-Time and Material.

Optional.

Enter the billable limit for this work order scope. You will only enter a value here if work completed equipment, labor, parts (stocked and purchased), and miscellaneous charges posted to this work order scope should not exceed a specified amount.

  • This field is disabled for work order scopes that were generated from a Time and Material work order quote sequence. Defaults the value from the quote sequence, if applicable.

  • Entry in this field is informational only. You will typically enter a value here if work completed lines posted to this work order scope should not exceed a specified amount; however, the amount specified here will not be used to validate total billable amounts on work completed lines.

Phase

The Phase field on the SM Work Orders form, scope Info tab.

This field displays for job work orders only.

Enter the phase to which costs will be posted when capturing work completed for this work order sequence. Press F4 to select from a list of valid job or phase master phases.

This field initially defaults a value as follows:

  • If you did not enter a work scope in the Scope field, defaults as blank.
  • If you entered a work scope in the Scope field, defaults the phase assigned to the work scope in SM Work Scopes. May be overridden. If you did not assign a default phase to the work scope, this field defaults as blank.

Locked Job vs. Non-Locked Job

If the Phases on this job are locked checkbox is selected for the job in JC Jobs, you must enter a phase that is set up for the job in JC Job Phases. If you enter a non-job phase, an error displays and you must either enter an existing job phase or add the phase to the job (by pressing F5 to access JC Job Phases).

Tip: If you enter a phase that is not set up for the job, you can press F5 from this field to access JC Job Phases. Once you add the phase and exit JC Job Phases, you can enter the phase here.

If the Phases on this job are locked checkbox is not selected for the job in JC Jobs, you can enter any phase from JC Job Phases or JC Phases, or any phase that matches the valid part of phase defined in JC Company Parameters.

For example, say the Number of valid characters in Phase code field is set to 8 (in JC Company Parameters). JC Phases contains phases 03110-120 and 03110-140-. If you enter phase 03110-120-100, the system allows it since the first 8 characters match the first 8 characters of phase 03110-120-. However, if you enter phase 03110-130-, it is not allowed, since the first 8 characters do not match any phase in JC Phases.

Note: If the job is not locked and you select a phase that does not exist for the job, the system adds the phase (and the specified JC cost type) to the job once you enter a work completed line referencing this scope.

Customer PO

For customer work orders only.

Enter the PO number (provided by the customer) for this work order scope. Up to 30 characters allowed. Initially defaults as follows:

  • If this work order was generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the customer PO specified for the quote sequence. May be overridden.

  • If this work order was generated from an agreement, this field defaults the Customer PO specified for the agreement (in SM Agreements) and is disabled. If no customer PO was specified for the agreement, this field defaults as blank and is enabled.

  • If this work order is not associated with an agreement, this field defaults as blank.

Note: If the specified service site or customer requires a PO on all service work orders (i.e. Customer PO Override in SM Service Sites or Customer PO Setting in SM Customers is R-Required), and you do not enter a value here, the system will display a warning; however, the record will be saved. The system will display a second warning when billing work completed for this work order scope if no PO is assigned.

Insurance Code

For customer work orders only.

Enter the insurance code to use as a default on timecards referencing this work order scope (in PR Timecard Entry). Initially defaults the insurance code specified for the service site (in SM Service Sites). Press F4 for a list of valid insurance codes (from HQ Insurance Codes).

The system may use this code as the default insurance code on timecards referencing this work order in PR Timecard Entry, depending on how you set the Insurance Based on Phase or SM Work Order Scope checkbox in PR Company Parameters (Job Cost/Service Mgmt tab) and the Always Use Employee's Work/Resident Standard Insurance Code checkbox in PR Employees. If the work order is not assigned an insurance code, the system will use the employee’s insurance code (Ins Code field, PR Employees).

Note: For information about insurance code defaults for labor hours posted to job-related SM work orders, see the Ins Code F1 help in PR Timecard Entry.

Bill To

The Bill To field on the SM Work Orders form, scope Info tab.

For customer work orders only.

Required.

Specify the AR customer to bill for work completed on this work order. This may be the site customer (specified above) or a different AR customer.

This field initially defaults the alternate bill to customer specified for the service site in SM Service Sites or for the customer in SM Customers. If no alternate bill to customer is defined at the service site or customer level, this field defaults the service site customer.

Note: This field is disabled for preventative maintenance work orders (generated via SM Generate PM Work Orders). However, it is enabled for scopes manually added to a preventative maintenance work order.

Tax Source

The Tax Source drop-down on the SM Work Order form, Work Order scope section, Info tab.

This field displays for customer work orders only.

From the drop-down menu, select whether to default the tax code for work completed lines from the 0-Service Center or the 1-Service Site. The field initially defaults as follows:

  • For manually entered work order scopes, this field defaults to 1-Service Site.
  • For work orders generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the tax source specified for the quote sequence.
  • For work orders generated from an agreement, this field defaults the tax source defined for the agreement service in SM Service.

You may override the default as needed.

Note: In instances where a work order does not have a service site, tax source information will default from the service center instead.

Tax Type

The Tax Type field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Order scope section, Info tab.

This field displays for customer work orders only.

If billable amounts for work covered by this work order scope are taxable, specify the default Bill Tax Type for work completed lines. Leave blank if taxes are not applicable. May be overridden.

Initially defaults as follows (depending on the Tax Source designed for the scope):

  • If the service center or service site is assigned a tax code, this field defaults as 1-Sales (US) or 3-VAT (AU/CA)

  • If the service center or service site is not assigned a tax code, this field defaults as blank.

Note: This field is disabled for flat price scopes generated from an agreement.

Tax Code

This field displays for customer work orders only.

If billable amounts for work covered by this work order scope are taxable, specify the default Bill Tax Code for work completed lines. Must be a valid tax code for the specified tax type.

Note: If you change this tax code after you have entered work completed lines, the system updates the tax code and tax amounts for the work completed lines.

This field defaults as follows:

  • If this work order scope was added manually, this field defaults the tax code assigned to the Service Site or Service Center, depending on the Tax Source specified for the work order scope. If no tax code is specified for the service site or service center, this field defaults as blank. May be overridden.
  • If this work order was generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the tax code specified for the quote sequence. If no tax code is specified for the quote scope, this field defaults as blank. May be overridden.
  • If this work order was generated from an agreement, this field is disabled. Defaults the tax code assigned to the Service Site or Service Center, depending on the Tax Source for the work order scope. If no tax code is specified for the service site or service center, this field defaults as blank.
Note: For Flat Price scopes only: Once you enter a tax code, the system calculates a tax amount (shown in the Est. Billable Tax field) based on the taxable split revenue amounts (defined in SM Flat Price Revenue). See the Est. Billable Tax F1 help for more information.

Est. Billable Tax

The Est. Billable Tax field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Order scope Info tab.

This field displays for Flat Price work order scopes only.

Display only, the estimated tax amount for this work order scope sequence (if applicable). The system calculates this amount based on the taxable split revenue sequence amounts and the tax rate for the specified tax code. For example, say the work order scope price is 5,000.00. You have 3 split revenue sequences:

Because only $2,500.00 of the revenue amount is flagged as taxable, the system calculates tax only on the $2,500.00, not the total flat price of $5,000.00.

If you change the Amount or Taxable flag on any of the split revenue sequences, the system automatically updates the estimated billable tax.

Note: When you generate an invoice that includes a taxable flat price scope, the system recalculates the tax amount for the scope based on the tax rate applicable at the time of billing. If it differs from the amount originally calculated for the flat price scope, this field is updated accordingly.

Derived

Select this checkbox to calculate the budget values (labor hours, cost total, pricing total, and profit) for the work order scope based on the detailed cost estimates from the Material, Equipment, and Labor tabs.

  • If you change the scope for a work completed line (labor, equipment, miscellaneous, or inventory lines only) and the new scope has a different rate template, the system will recalculate the Bill Rate and Bill Subtotal values.

  • Once you bill this work completed line (i.e., the invoice is sent to AR), edits to this field will only be allowed via the SM Invoice Review form (by double-clicking the invoice line or selecting the line and clicking Edit Record).

Date

Required.

Enter the date for this work completed entry; typically the date the work was completed. Defaults the current date.

Work Completed Labor

For work completed labor lines, the date entered here determines the start date for the timesheet (header) based on the pay period defined for the technician's payroll group. For example, if you have a pay period of 04/01/12 through 04/07/12, and you enter labor hours for 04/02/12, the timesheet created in PR My Timesheet will have a Start Date of 04/01/12, with time posted on 04/02/12.

However, because timesheets are in 7-day increments, if your pay periods span multiple weeks, the system will use the pay period start "day" to determine the start date for labor hours posted in each week of the pay period. For example, say your pay period runs 04/01/12 — 04/15/12. The start date, 04/01/12, falls on Sunday, so this is the "day" the system will use when determining the Start Date for timesheets posted in each week of the pay period. Therefore, labor hours posted on 04/01/12 through 04/07/12 will have a start date of 04/01/12; labor hours posted on 04/08/12 through 04/14/12 will have a start date of 04/08/12; and labor hours posted on 04/15/12 will have a start date of 04/15/12.

This date cannot be edited if you initiated the work completed line in PR Timecard Entry or you initiated the work completed line in SM Work Orders, but the corresponding timesheet has been approved and sent to a timecard batch.

For labor and equipment lines generated from a service timecard (in PR Timecard Entry), this field defaults from the timecard line and cannot be changed.

  • You can make changes to this date as long as the new date falls within the specified Post Month. However, once you bill the work completed line (i.e. the invoice is sent to AR), you can only change this date via the SM Invoice Review form (accessed by double-clicking the invoice line).

  • If this work completed line is associated with a closed scope (i.e. the work order scope was closed after the work completed line was entered), this field is disabled and cannot be changed.

Cost Rate

The Cost Rate field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Completed tab.

Display only.

For lump sum (LS) items, this field is blank. For unit-based items, this field defaults based on the work completed line type as follows:
Equipment Lines
The Cost Rate defaults from EM Revenue Rates by Equipment or EM Revenue Rates by Category (if no rate is defined at the equipment level), depending on the equipment and revenue code specified for the line. The system multiplies the Cost Rate by either the Time Units (if hour-based revenue code) or the Work Units (if unit-based revenue code) to derive the cost total (Actual Cost), which cannot be changed.
Labor Lines
The Cost Rate defaults based on the technician and pay type specified on the line, as well as the cost method specified for the pay type as follows:
  • If the cost method is Multiplier, the Cost Rate is a calculation of the technician's pay rate (from SM Technicians) x the pay type's factor. For example, if the pay rate is $55 and the factor is 1.5, the Cost Rate will be $82.50.
  • If the cost method is Dollar Rate, the Cost Rate defaults the rate specified for the pay type in SM Pay Types.
Note: The system calculates the Cost Hrs x Cost Rate and displays the value in the ​Total Projected Cost​ field. Once payroll is processed and the employee paid, the system populates the Total Actual Cost field with the actual amount paid to the employee.
Miscellaneous Lines
These lines default a Cost Rate as follows:
  • For Misc lines generated from an AP transaction, this field defaults as follows:
    • If you did not apply taxes or a Misc Amt to the AP transaction, this field defaults equal to the Cost UC.
    • If you applied taxes and/or a Misc Amt to the AP transaction, this field includes the posted tax and/or Misc Amt (calculated as Total Actual Cost / Cost Qty).

      For example, say the AP transaction Units=100, the Gross=1,000, the Misc Amt=50, and the Tax Amt=100, resulting in a Total Actual Cost of $1,150. In this case, the Cost Rate for the resulting Misc line will equal $11.50 ($1,150 / 100).

  • For Misc lines entered directly in SM (via the Work Completed grid or the SM Work Completed Misc form) with no taxes applied, this field defaults equal to the Cost UC. If you applied cost taxes to the line, this field includes the tax amount (calculated as Total Actual Cost / Cost Qty).
Inventory Lines
The Cost Rate defaults as follows:
  • If the work completed line does not include taxes, this field defaults equal to the Cost UC.
  • If the work completed line includes taxes, this field includes the tax amount (calculated as Total Actual Cost / Quantity).
Purchase Lines
The Cost Rate defaults the unit cost from the purchase order item. However, if the purchase order item includes tax (Sales or Use), the Cost Rate for the resulting work completed purchase line includes the tax amount. For example, if the PO item is posted with 100.000 units, a unit cost of 5.00000, and tax of 50.00, the Cost Rate for the resulting work completed purchase line would be 5.500 (Total + Tax / Units).

For purchase order items with a UM of LS (that is, material is non-valid or no material was specified), this field defaults as 0.00, regardless of whether you post tax to the line or not.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

If you entered a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) code, the cost rate includes the PST amount. If you entered a Goods and Services Tax (GST) code, the cost rate excludes the GST amount. For multi-level tax codes that include both PST and GST, only the PST portion is included in the tax amount.

Cost ECM

The Cost ECM field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Completed tab and related work completed forms.

This field only displays when the line type is 4-Inventory or 5-Purchase; however, it is enabled for Inventory lines only.

Specify the quantity that the Cost UC represents.

  • E - Per each
  • C - Per Hundred
  • M - Per Thousand

For work completed inventory lines, this field defaults based on the material as follows:

  • Stocked Material (pulled from INCo/Location) - Defaults from IN Location Materials based on the unit cost (last, average, or standard) or unit price used. For example, if using a material rate basis of V-Average Cost (in SM Rate Templates), this field defaults the ECM defined in the Avg Unit Cost field in IN Location Materials (Costs/Qtys tab).
  • Non-stocked Materials (pulled from HQ Materials) - Defaults the ECM defined for the standard unit cost in HQ Materials.
  • Non-Standard Materials (not in IN or HQ) - Defaults as E.

For work completed purchase lines, this field defaults from the purchase order item and is disabled. However, you can change this value for the related purchase order item (in SM Purchase Order Entry or PO Purchase Order Entry).

Note: For both Inventory and Purchase lines, if you change the Cost ECM value, the system automatically updates all related cost and billing values on the work completed line (Cost Subtotal, Cost Tax Basis, Cost Tax Amt, Bill Rate, and so forth).

Please note, if you change the Cost ECM and then change the cost quantity, the Cost ECM is not updated.

Total Projected Cost

The Total Projected Cost field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Completed grid.

This field displays for Labor and Purchase lines only.

Display only, the projected total cost for the work completed line.

The system calculates this value as follows:

  • Labor - Cost Hrs x Cost Rate.

  • Purchase - Quantity x Cost Rate.

Note: Purchase lines with lump sums (UM = LS) will have Quantity and Cost Rates of "0"; the Projected Cost Total column will reflect the lump sum total of the PO.

Invoiced Units

The Invoiced Units field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Completed grid and the SM Work Completed Purchase form.

This field displays for work completed Purchase lines only.

Display only, the invoiced units for this work completed line. This field initially defaults as null. Once you invoice the purchase order item (in AP Transaction Entry), this field defaults the value from the AP transaction.

Total Actual Cost

The Total Actual Cost field on the SM Work Order form, Work Completed grid.

This field is display only.

Defaults the total actual cost for the work completed line (if applicable). The system calculates this value as follows:

  • 1-Equip - Defaults a calculation of Time Units x Cost Rate or Work Units x Cost Rate
  • 2-Labor - Initially defaults as null. Once payroll is processed for the employee (technician), this field defaults the value from Payroll. If the employee has a SM Fixed Rate defined (in PR Employees), the actual cost calculation is based on the fixed rate, the SM Pay Type specified for the time entry, and the hours posted for the employee. For more information, see SM Fixed Rate.
    Note: If you have implemented 'bEmployee' datatype security and have secured the PRTH (PR Timecard Header) view, you will only see a value in this field if you have access to the specified employee; otherwise, this field displays as 0.00.
  • 3-Misc - For Misc lines entered directly in the Work Completed grid (or the related SM Work Completed Misc form), this defaults a calculation of the Cost Subtotal + Cost Tax Amt (if applicable).

    For Misc lines generated from AP Transaction Entry or AP Unapproved Invoice Posting, this field defaults the invoice line's Gross amount + Misc Amt (if applicable) + Tax Amt (if applicable).

  • 4-Inventory - Defaults a calculation of the Cost Subtotal + Cost Tax Amt (if applicable).
  • 5-Purchase - Initially defaults as null. Once you invoice the purchase order (in AP Transaction Entry), the system updates this field with the actual cost from the AP transaction: Gross + Misc Amt (if applicable) + Tax Amt (if applicable). If the AP transaction includes a Misc Amt or the Tax Amt differs from the tax amount on the purchase order item, this value may differ from the Total Projected Cost. You can see the details of the AP transaction on the AP History tab on the SM Work Completed Purchase form.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

If you entered a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) code, the Total Actual Cost includes the PST amount. If you entered a Goods and Services Tax (GST) code, the Total Actual Cost excludes the GST amount. For multi-level tax codes that include both PST and GST, only the PST portion is included in the Total Actual Cost.

Received Units

This field only displays for work completed purchase lines (type 5-Purchase) when the UM for the purchase order item is not LS.

Display only, the units received against the purchase order item for this work completed purchase line. The system updates this field automatically when you receive units against the PO item in PO Receipts Entry.

Note: If you did not specify to receive the PO item (the Receiving box was not checked in SM Purchase Order Entry or PO Purchase Order Entry), this field will be updated when you invoice this line in AP Transaction Entry.

Bill Hrs / Bill Qty

This title of this field differs depending on line type as follows:

Bill Hrs
This field displays for 2-Labor lines only.

Required.

Enter the number of billable hours for this work completed labor line. Defaults the number of hours specified in the Hrs Worked field.

This value is typically the number of hours charged for work done by this technician on the specified work order scope. However, you can use this field to enter "minimum" or "maximum" billable hours. For example, you might charge a minimum of one hour, even if the technician worked less than one hour.

Note: This field is disabled if:
  • the Non-Billable checkbox is selected for the work completed line. Since the line is non-billable, this field defaults to blank.

  • the work completed line is for a job work order with a Costing Method of Actual Cost. The value in this field will be set equal to the Cost Quantity.

Once you bill the work completed line (via SM Invoice Review for customer work orders and via Job Billing or Accounts Receivable for job work orders), edits to this field will only be allowed via the SM Invoice Review form (by double-clicking the invoice line or selecting the line and clicking Edit Record).

Bill Qty

This field displays for 3-Misc and 4-Inventory lines only.

Enter the billable quantity for this work completed line. Initially defaults from the line's Cost Qty, but you may override as needed.

Bill Subtotal - (Cost Tax Basis + Cost Tax Amt)

If Bill Qty is < Cost Qty, the Bill Tax Basis is calculated as:

Bill Subtotal - ((Cost Tax Basis + Cost Tax Amt) * (Bill Qty / Cost Qty))

Note: If you did not capture taxes when recording costs, there is no credit to apply to the transaction at billing; therefore, the bill tax basis is calculated using the full billing subtotal, not just the markup.
N (Misc)If the Bill Qty is blank and the Bill Subtotal <= 0, then the Bill Tax Basis is set to 0.00

If the Bill Qty is blank and the Bill Subtotal > 0, then the Bill Tax Basis is set equal to the Bill Subtotal.

N (Purchase)
* If the work completed line is posted to a non-material SM Cost Type, the system uses the Non-Material Purchases: Markup Percent specified for the rate template. If the work completed line is posted to a material-related SM Cost Type, the system uses the material rate type and basis defined for the template to determine the template markup or discount percent to use. For more information, see Material Rates: Type and Material Rates: Basis.
Note: The system uses the Tax Option Override assigned to the work order scope to determine the taxability/default behavior for work completed lines. If the work order scope's Tax Option Override is blank, the system uses the Tax Option specified for the scope's assigned call type to determine taxability/tax defaults. If the call type's Tax Option is blank, all bill tax fields default as null and must be entered manually.

Job Work Orders

You can only enter cost taxes for work completed lines associated with a Job work order. Therefore, all Bill Tax fields default as blank and are disabled.

Bill Tax Amt

The Bill Tax Amt field on the SM Work Orders form, Work Completed tab, and on the related work completed forms.

This field defaults as blank and is disabled if the Non-Billable checkbox is selected for the work completed line.

If you entered a bill tax type and tax code for the work completed line, this field defaults the Bill Tax Amt as follows:

  • If the bill tax basis is not 0.00, the system defaults the bill tax amount as a calculation of the tax basis times the tax rate defined for the tax code.
  • If the bill tax basis is not 0.00, but the bill tax code has a rate of 0.00, the bill tax amount is set to 0.00; however, the system leaves the specified Bill Tax Type, Bill Tax Code, and Bill Tax Basis designations intact.
  • If the bill tax basis is 0.00, the system sets the tax amount to 0.00, but leaves the specified Bill Tax Type, Bill Tax Code, and Bill Tax Basis designations intact.

For Misc, Inventory, and Purchase lines, you can override the default if needed; however, if you change the bill tax amount, the Bill Tax Basis is not recalculated.

For Equipment and Labor lines, this field is disabled.

Note: When you generate an invoice that includes this work completed line (T&M scopes only), the system recalculates the bill tax amount based on the tax rate applicable at the time of bill, if the date on the work completed line is falls before the tax rate Effective Date and the rate has changed for the specified tax code. If it differs from the amount calculated for the work completed line at the time of posting, the amount in this field is updated accordingly.
