Enter Work Completed Inventory for Non-Stocked Materials on a Work Order

Enter work completed inventory lines to capture non-stocked material expenses for job and customer work orders (including those auto-generated from a customer agreement).

You can use the Work Completed tab in SM Work Orders or the SM Work Completed Inventory form to enter work completed lines.

The instructions below describe entry of work completed inventory lines for non-stocked materials using the Work Completed grid in SM Work Orders.

Note: If you enter work completed for a job work order and the job is hard or soft-closed, you can only save the record if you allow posting to closed jobs (i.e. the Allow Posting to Hard-Closed Jobs and/or Allow Posting to Soft-Closed Jobs boxes are checked in JC Company Parameters).
  1. From the Main Menu, select Service Management > Programs > SM Work Orders.
  2. In the Work Order field, enter the work order to which you are adding a work completed entry.
