❖For those using the Technician Scheduling Form - When a Work Order, created from a Job Task, is displayed in the Work Order Listing on the Technician Scheduling Form, that Work Order will be classified as a "Job" Appointment Type.

 

Appointment Type = Job

 

✓As a result, if a User wants to only view pending Appointments that are Job Tasks:

 

 

▪Select "Jobs" as the desired Appointment Type to be listed on the Technician Scheduling Form

▪Thereafter, only those Work Orders which were created for Job Tasks will be listed until a different filter is chosen.

❑Creating an Invoice for multiple Work Orders

a)Identify those Job Tasks which will be needed to complete the Job.

b)Enter each of those Job Tasks until all of the individual Job Tasks that are required, have been recorded.

c)Create individual Work Orders for each Job Task.

d)Identify the Inventory Items that could be required within the Inventory tab on the Item List tab, then Reserve those that will be used.

e)Update these Work Orders with additional information, as needed (see the "Updating Work Order " discussion immediately above).

 

•There are two Choices available for how these Job Tasks may be Invoiced.

1.As each Work Order is completed (see Completing a Work Order), thereby fulfilling the requirement(s) of that Job Task, Select the Complete button located near the bottom of the Work Order Form and when requested, indicate that an Invoice should be created for that Work Order.  

▪This method allows you to individually itemize the miscellaneous Material Costs and Inventory Items that were used (Inventory Items must be identified within the Inventory tab on the Item List tab, then Reserved when they are used).

▪This method also allows you to identify the Technician(s) who actually worked on this Job Task, and the Labor Rate and Hours for each of those Technicians.

▪Repeat this process as each Job Task (and it's associated Work Order) is completed.

 

2.As each Work Order is completed (see Completing a Work Order), thereby fulfilling the requirement(s) of that Job Task:

▪Select the Complete button on the Work Order, but do not request that an Invoice be created.  

▪Instead, do the following:

a)Complete all of the Job Tasks, that will need to be Invoiced, but do not Invoice them from within the Service Request Form.

b)Use the Generate Invoices option on the Job Tasks Tab to combine the charges for all of the Amounts - that are to be Invoiced for those Job Tasks - onto one Invoice.
