What posts in service and maintenance

Only the service order confirmation reaches the accounts. Its Save issues the parts used from stock; its Invoice button raises parked customer invoices, which post when they are saved in Receivables. Every other screen of the area posts nothing.

When the service order carries a VOD amount, the customer's invoice and the insurer's invoice each carry a cost element line for it, from the two VOD cost elements of Service Management Setting.

Where the accounts come from​

  • Service debit account and service credit account: on each category, on Category in Company Setup. The service order fills each line's account from the category's service credit account when it is saved.
  • Journal For Issuance, Invoice Journal, VOD Cost Element on Insurance and VOD Cost Element on Customer: on Service Management Setting.
  • Customer receivable and tax accounts: in Receivables (What posts in receivables) and on the Posting Profile.

Undoing a posting​

  • The goods issue: delete the confirmation. Its goods issue is deleted with it. This is refused once an invoice (not reversed) exists for the service order.
  • An invoice: Reverse on the toolbar of the customer invoice in Receivables. After that the confirmation can be deleted.

Documents that never post​

  • Service Order - prices the job; its release can create an item transfer request, a request to move the parts to the order's warehouse.
  • Service Quotation, Service Agreement - offers only.
  • Billing Proposal (service, fleet and towing) - prepares an invoice; the invoice in Receivables posts.
  • Service Object Movement - its Category charges are recorded only.
  • Fleet Maintenance Order, Fleet Maintenance Quotation - no stock issue and no posting.
  • Maintenance Order, Maintenance Order Confirmation - no stock issue and no posting; issue spare parts with an inventory issue.
  • Storage Order - charged through its billing proposal.
