There are several ways to operate the service system. If you have a workshop, garage or other business that handles service requests, work orders or service calls, this section may be of interest to you.

There are three ways to operate the service system:
1) By service request only. Service requests are evaluated and processed. Afterwards they are either destroyed or placed in the call history.
2) By taking a call as a service request (see service requests). Service requests are then evaluated and become work orders or are destroyed. Work orders are placed in the schedule and are executed by technicians leading to a final invoice.
3) Directly by work order. The work order is created and placed in the schedule and are executed by technicians leading to a final invoice.
A work order can be scheduled or not according to your needs. Those that are placed will appear in the service schedule for the assigned technician.
The schedule is optional and all work orders appear in the work order tracking.

To structure your service system, we start by determining the types of services offered
In the management of service types you can modify this type, the color associated with the type and add additional service types according to your needs.
The hourly rate attached to any item that has a search alias "service" and will be put as the unit price for the calculation of the total. This value is implemented only in the work order module.
The document is a SERVICE+ option that allows you to assign a type of printed document specially designed for a type of service. EX: A specific form for the inspection of a vehicle, etc... These types are configured in the management of printed documents.
The form is also a SERVICE+ option and allows you to assign a question form designed for a type of service. EX: A special form to check or choose for the inspection of a vehicle, etc... These forms are configured in the management of service forms in the administrative settings.
The work order is the central document for the service. It can be imported, closed, destroyed or invoiced.

*NOTE* a product that has the SERVICE code in its SEARCH ALIAS will automatically receive the unit price represented by the labor rate attached to the service type.
The printing of the work order is done according to the choice of the printing document according to the service type.
In this case TRUCK INSPECTION at 95.00 hourly rate.
|
The attached optional form is also a SERVICE+ option and allows you to assign a question form designed for a service type. EX: A special form to check or choose for a vehicle inspection, etc...
These forms are configured in the Service Form Management in the administrative settings.
If a form is matched to a service type and that service type is the work order then you will see the form to fill out.
The work order will keep the information from the questionnaire.
This is useful for:
- A process control or inspection mandated by an organization or manufacturer.
- An internal quality and assurance control for the customer.
- Any other control or process requiring verification that must be kept.
(in our example here the periodic inspection of a vehicle.)
If necessary, you can display in a window the essential information of the work order in order to copy and transpose on a label to either classify parts or any other need.
