Field Definitions: SM Work Order Form

The following is a list of field descriptions for the SM Work Order form. Many of the descriptions include links to other topics that provide additional information about or related to the topic.

Line Type

Select the line type for this work completed entry.

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.

1 - Equip — Select this option to capture the equipment used to complete this work order.

Note: In order to use this type, you must have the EM module.

2 - Labor — Select this option to capture the technician's labor hours for this work order.
3 - Misc — Select this option to capture the miscellaneous expenses required to complete this work order.

4 - Inventory — Select this option to capture materials pulled from Inventory that were used to complete this work order.

Note: In order to use this type, you must have the Inventory (IN) module.

5 - Purchase — This option is used for materials purchased from a vendor that were used to complete this work order. However, you cannot manually add lines of this type here; the system generates a work completed purchase line when you post a purchase order (in SM Purchase Order Entry or PO Purchase Order Entry) that is associated with an SM work order. Work completed purchase lines will also be generated when distributing existing purchase order items to SM work orders (in PO Item Distribution).

Note: In order to use this type, you must have the Purchase Order (PO) module.

Scope Seq

Required.

Enter the work order scope to which this work completed entry applies or press F4 to select from a list of valid scopes for the work order.

For work completed purchase lines (type 5-Purchase), this field defaults the scope sequence specified for the purchase order item (in SM Purchase Order Entry, PO Purchase Order Entry, or PO Item Distribution) and cannot be changed.

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.

If you enter a scope that is closed, a message displays indicating such and you will be unable to save the line. You must either reopen the scope or enter a different (open) scope.
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 Billable Rate and Total Billable 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.

Non-Billable

The Non-Billable check box on the SM Work Orders form, Work Completed tab.

Select this check box if this work completed line is not billable (i.e. will not be used to generate an invoice). The Billable Rate, Total Billable, and tax-related fields will be disabled and default as blank.

Leave this box unselected if this work completed line is billable and will be used to generate an invoice.

The enabling/disabling and defaulting of this field is as follows:

For these lines, work completed is covered in the flat price amount.
If this work completed line is associated with a Time and Material work order scope that was manually added or generated from a work order quote or Time of Service, Rate Template agreement service, this field is enabled and defaults as unchecked.
If this work completed line is associated with a Non-Billable work order scope that was manually added or generated from an Included in Agreement or Periodic agreement service, this field defaults as checked and is disabled. For these lines, work completed is covered by the agreement price (Included in Agreement or Periodic, Not Billed Separately services) or the agreement service price (Periodic, Billed Separately services).
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.
If this work completed line is associated with an agreement and you have set up spot work coverage for the agreement/service site, this check box defaults based on the line type and the spot coverage defined for the agreement/service site. For more information, see Agreement Covered Spot Work.

For customer work orders only.

Display only, the revision number of the agreement specified for this work completed line (at the scope level or line level).

Agreement Rates

Check this box to derive the billable rate/amount for this work completed line using the rate template assigned to the specified agreement.

Leave this box unchecked to derive the billable rate/amount for this work completed line using the rate template assigned to the associated work order scope.

This field is enabled and defaults as unchecked if you manually added the work order scope and:

it is assigned an agreement, has a Time and Material price method, and the Agreement Rates box is unchecked.
it is not assigned an agreement and has a Time and Material price method, but you specified an agreement for the work completed line.

This field is disabled if:

you generated the work order from an agreement (via SM Generate PM Work Orders) and the work order scope Price Method is Time and Material or Flat Price. Defaults as checked.
you generated the work order from an agreement (via SM Generate PM Work Orders) and the work order scope Price Method is Non-Billable. Defaults as unchecked.
you manually added the work order scope, assigned it an agreement and a Time and Material price method, and you checked the scope's Agreement Rates box. Defaults as checked.

Once you save the work completed line, this field is disabled and cannot be changed.

Reference No

Enter a reference number for this work completed line, up to 60 characters, if applicable. Initially defaults the reference number from existing work completed entries (for the work order) with the same work order scope and date, if applicable; otherwise, defaults as null.

You can use the reference number to represent any pertinent value; however, reference numbers are primarily intended as a mechanism for auto-selecting customer work orders for billing (in SM Work Order Billing) or reporting purposes. They are not used anywhere else in the system.

Note: Although you cannot bill job work orders here in SM, you can use the reference number on job-related equipment lines for reporting purposes.

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

Serviceable Item

Enter the serviceable item for this work completed line (i.e. the equipment or item that was serviced) or press F4 to select from a list of valid serviceable items for the specified service site.

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.
For work completed lines not associated with a closed scope, once you create and process an invoice (i.e. send it 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).

SM Cost Type

Enter the cost type (from SM Cost Types) that applies to this work completed line. You must specify a cost type that is assigned an SM Cost Type Category that is valid for the work completed line type. For example, if you are entering a work completed Equipment line, you must assign a cost type with a category of E-Equipment. This does not apply to work completed miscellaneous lines, which will allow any SM cost type, regardless of the cost type category.

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.

For work completed Purchase lines, this field defaults the SM Cost Type specified for the purchase order item and is disabled. You can only change the SM Cost Type via the SM Purchase Order Entry or PO Purchase Order Entry forms.

JC Cost Type

This field displays for job work orders only.

Required.

Enter the JC cost type (from JC Cost Types) for this work completed line. Initially defaults based on the work completed line type as follows:

Equipment - If you entered an SM cost type for the line, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the SM cost type. If no JC cost type is assigned to the SM cost type or you did not enter an SM cost type, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the equipment (in EM Equipment). If no JC cost type is assigned to the equipment, defaults as blank and must be entered manually.
Labor - If you entered a labor code for the line, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the labor code (in SM Labor Codes). If no JC cost type is assigned to the labor code or you did not enter a labor code, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the line's SM cost type. If no JC cost type is assigned to the SM cost type or you did not enter an SM cost type, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the earnings code associated with the lines SM pay type.
Miscellaneous - If you entered an SM cost type for the line, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the SM cost type. If no JC cost type is assigned to the SM cost type or you did not enter an SM cost type, defaults as blank and must be entered manually.
Inventory - If you entered an SM cost type for the line, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the SM cost type. If no JC cost type is assigned to the SM cost type or you did not enter an SM cost type, defaults the JC cost type assigned to the material (in HQ Materials). If no JC cost type is assigned to the material, field defaults as blank and must be entered manually.

Purchase - This field defaults the JC Cost Type specified for the PO item and cannot be overridden, regardless of whether you specify an SM Cost Type that has a JC Cost Type assigned.

Note: For all line types except Purchase, this field will default as blank if the cost type that would normally default for the line does not exist for the JC company associated with the work order. You will need to enter a cost type that is valid for the JC company.

The system will use the cost type specified here, in conjunction with the phase specified for the work order sequence, to post the costs to Job Cost (via the JC Cost Detail table).

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.
For work completed lines not associated with a closed scope, once you create and process an invoice (i.e. send it 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).

GL Account Validation

When you enter a cost type here, the validation process will check that the phase (from the work order scope) or cost type is set up in JC Departments. This validation process is as follows:

If an override for the phase exists in JC Departments, the GL accounts defined for the phase will be used, regardless of whether the cost type is set up for the department.
If no phase override exists in JC Departments (Phase Overrides tab), the cost type entered here must be set up with the appropriate GL accounts in JC Departments (Cost Types tab) based on the following:

If the phase exists on the job (locked and non-locked jobs), the cost type must be set up for the department assigned to the phase's contract item.
If the phase does not exist for the job (non-locked jobs only), the cost type must be set up for the department assigned to the first contract item associated with the job.
If the phase does not exist for the job (non-locked jobs only), but the phase matches the "number of valid characters" of a phase that does exist on the job, the cost type must exist for the contract item assigned to the valid job phase.
Note: These conditions apply regardless of how you set the JC interface checkbox in SM Company Parameters.

Locked Phases vs. Non-Locked Phases

If the job specified for the work order is locked (i.e. the Phases on this job are locked box is checked in JC Jobs), the cost type specified here must be set up for the job/phase in JC Job Phases. If the cost type is not set up for the job phase, you can add it by pressing F5 from this field to access JC Job Phases. Once you set up the cost type and exit JC Job Phases, you can enter the cost type here.

If the job is not locked (i.e. the Phases on this job are locked box is not checked in JC Jobs), you can use any cost type defined for the phase in JC Job Phases or JC Phases.

Technician

Required for 2-Labor line types only.

Enter the technician who performed the work associated with this work completed line or press F4 to select from a list of valid SM technicians.

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.

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.
For work completed lines not associated with a closed scope, once you create and process an invoice (i.e. send it 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).

Work Completed Labor

In order to enter work completed labor lines, you must be set up in VA User Profile with a PR Co and Employee designation, as well as the appropriate My Timesheet Permissions setting (i.e. 1-Enter for Self or 2-Enter for Self and Others). If this is not done, you will receive an error message once you enter a value in this field. The message displayed will depend on whether you are entering time for yourself or for another user.

Note: Edits to this quantity can only be made at the purchase order item level (in SM Purchase Order Entry or PO Purchase Order Entry). Once you post the PO batch, the system will update the quantity here.

Cost Rate

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

This field is enabled for Miscellaneous lines only.

The cost rate default depends 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 Line

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 pay rate is $55 and factor is 1.5, the cost rate is $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 Proj Cost field. Once payroll is processed and the employee paid, the system populates the Actual Cost field with the actual amount paid to the employee.

Miscellaneous Lines

These lines default a cost rate as follows:

If you entered a standard item (from SM Standard Items) in the Item field, the Cost Rate defaults from the cost rate defined for the line's standard item. May be overridden.
If you entered a non-standard item (that is, a free-form item) or left a blank value in the Item field, this field defaults as null and you must enter the line's cost rate manually.
If the work completed line originated in AP Transaction Entry, this field defaults the unit cost specified for the transaction line and is disabled.

Inventory

The Cost Rate defaults as follows:

For Stocked Materials (pulled from INCo/Location), defaults the unit cost from IN Location Materials based on the Pricing Option specified for Service Sales in IN Company Parameters and the service markup/discount rate specified for the location in IN Location Materials.
For Non-stocked Materials (pulled from HQ Materials), defaults the standard unit cost from HQ Materials. May be overridden if needed.
For Non-Standard Materials (not in IN or HQ), defaults as blank and you must ener the unit cost manually.

Purchase

The Cost Rate defaults the unit cost from the purchase order. 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.

Cost ECM

This field only displays when the Line Type is 4-Inventory or 5-Purchase.

Display only, the quantity the unit cost (Cost Rate) represents.

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

For work completed inventory lines, this field 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 will default the ECM defined for the Avg Unit Cost value in IN Location Materials (Costs/Qtys tab).

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 will default the ECM defined for the Avg Unit Cost value 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.

Proj Cost

Display only, the projected cost for the work completed line (if applicable).

The system calculates this value as follows:

If the Line Type is1-Equip or 3-Misc, this field is not applicable and displays as null.
If the Line Type is 2-Labor, this field is a calculation of Cost Hrs x Cost Rate.
If the Line Type is 4-Inventory and the material comes from Inventory, this field is not applicable and defaults as null.

If the Line Type is 5-Purchase, this field is a calculation of Quantity x Cost Rate.

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

Actual Quantity

This field displays for work completed Purchase lines only.

Display only, the actual quantity 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.

Actual Cost

This field is enabled for Miscellaneous lines only.

This field is only enabled for Inventory lines referencing a non-stocked or non-standard material, or for non-material related Miscellaneous lines (those that do not reference a material-related SM cost type).

Defaults the 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.
2-Labor - Initially defaults as null. Once payroll is processed for the employee (technician), this field defaults the value from Payroll.

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 - Defaults a calculation of Cost Qty x Cost Rate. If you did not enter values in the Cost Qty and Cost Rate fields, this field defaults as null and the actual cost must be entered manually.

You may override the default value if necessary. However, overriding the default will clear the Cost Qty and Cost Rate fields. It is not required that you re-enter the Cost Qty or Cost Rate values; however, if you re-enter one value, the other will be re-calculated based on that value and the actual cost specified in this field.

Note: If the scope associated with the miscellaneous line is closed, this field is disabled.

4-Inventory - Defaults a calculation of Quantity x Cost Rate.

For non-stocked and non-standard materials only, changing the defaulted value will recalculate the Cost Rate.

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. This value may differ from the Proj Cost (e.g. a miscellaneous amount was included on the AP transaction or the unit cost on the AP transaction differed from the cost rate specified for the work completed line).

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.

Received Cost

This field only displays for work completed purchase lines (type 5-Purchase) when the UM for the purchase order item is LS.

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

For work order scopes with a Price Method of Time and Material, this field defaults as follows:

Inventory Line - Defaults the Sales UM from HQ Materials. Accept the default or enter a new unit of measure. Press F4 for a list of valid UMs for the specified material.
Inventory Line - Defaults from the Cost UM. May be overridden as needed for stocked and non-stocked materials. For non-standard materials (those not in IN or HQ), this field is disabled, as the system has no way to convert the billable UM to the cost UM should they differ.

Purchase Line - Defaults the unit of measure specified for the material on the PO item. May be overridden.

If the Non-Billable check box is selected for the purchase line, this field is disabled and defaults as blank.

If the purchased material is set up in HQ Materials and you enter a UM that is set up in HQ Additional Units of Measure, the Billable Rate will be updated based on the conversion factor. If the UM is not set up in HQ Additional Units of Measure or the material is not set up in HQ Materials, entering a different UM will clear the Billable Rate field; however, the Total Billable will be left intact.
This field is disabled if the work completed line is associated with an agreement and the Coverage type is C-Fully Covered or A-Agreement Rates. For Fully Covered lines only, this amount will be set to 0.00; pricing is included in the agreement price.

Billable Rate

The Billable Rate field on the SM Work Order form, Work Completed tab.

The system determines the billable rate for work completed lines based on the line type. However, the method used to derive the billable rate differs slightly depending on the work order type (customer, job, or agreement-related) and the price method assigned to the work order scope. Click on the appropriate link below for more information.

Customer Work Orders

If the Non-Billable check box is selected for the work completed line, this field is disabled and blank.

If the Non-Billable check box is not selected for the work completed line, this field defaults the billable rate for each line type as follows:

Equipment

Defaults a calculation of the Cost Rate x the advanced or standard Equipment Markup rate.

Labor

Defaults the advanced labor rate defined by technician, craft/class, call type, and/or pay type or the standard labor rate.

Miscellaneous

Defaults the Billable Rate defined for the standard item specified for the work completed line. If no standard item is specified, this field defaults as blank.

For miscellaneous lines generated via AP Transaction Entry, if a material is specified on the invoice line, the rate defaults based on the rate template for the work order scope. If no material is specified on the invoice line, this rate is set equal to the Cost Rate. If the UM is LS, the rate defaults as blank.

Inventory

Defaults the Billable Rate as follows:

Stocked and Non-Stocked Materials - Defaults based on the rate basis, rate type (markup or discount), and the markup/discount rate (standard or advanced) defined on the template.
If you have defined rates by break point (in SM Override Category Material or SM Rate Override Material), the system determines the percentage to use based on where the material's cost falls in the defined price break ranges. If the material's total cost is less than the first defined price break, the system uses the standard rate.
Non-Standard Materials (not in HQ Materials) - Defaults based on the Actual Cost of the work completed line, and the template's rate type (markup or discount) and markup/discount rate (standard or advanced).
If you have defined rates by break point (in SM Override Category Material or SM Rate Override Material), the system determines the percentage to use based on where the material's cost falls in the defined price break ranges. If the material's total cost is less than the first defined price break, the system uses the standard rate.

Purchase

Defaults the billable rate as follows:

Material Purchases - Rate defaults based on the rate basis, rate type (markup or discount), and the markup/discount rate (standard or advanced) defined on the template. If advanced material rates exist, the system will pull the percentage from the appropriate price break range or use the standard percent if the material's cost does not fall within any of the defined price break ranges. May be overridden.
Non-Material Purchases - Rate defaults based on the line's cost rate (i.e. unit cost from the PO item) and the markup percent specified for non-material purchases (at the service site, customer, effective date, or rate template level).

Note: If the PO item has a UM of LS (i.e. material is non-valid or no material was specified), this field defaults as blank and is disabled.

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).

Job Work Orders

For all line types, this field defaults based on the Costing Method specified for the work order.

Actual Cost

For all work completed line types except Miscellaneous, if you selected this costing method, the system sets the billable rate equal to the Cost Rate and disables this field. The only way to change this value is to change the Cost Rate for the line.

For Miscellaneous work completed lines, entered in SM, this field is enabled and defaults based on the standard item specified for the line. If the standard item has a Cost Rate greater than 0.00, the line's Billable Rate is set equal to the Cost Rate, even if a Billable Rate is specified for the standard item. If the standard item's Cost Rate is blank or 0.00, the line's Billable Rate defaults the billable rate defined for the standard item. If you did not specify a standard item for the work completed line, this field defaults from the Cost Rate you entered for the line.

For Miscellaneous work complete lines entered via AP Transaction Entry, this field is disabled, and defaults from the Cost Rate.

Markup

If you selected this costing method, the billable rate is derived using the rate template defined for the work order scope (based on the standard rate hierarchy for each line type).

Labor - Defaults the advanced labor rate defined by technician, craft/class, call type, and/or pay type or the standard labor rate.
Miscellaneous - Defaults the Billable Rate defined for the standard item specified for the work completed line. If no standard item is specified or the Billable Rate for the standard item is blank, this field defaults as blank.
If the miscellaneous work completed line was entered in AP Transaction Entry, this field is disabled and the rate defaults based on the rate template for the work order scope. If no material is specified on the invoice line, this rate is set equal to the Cost Rate. If the UM is LS, the rate defaults as blank.
Inventory - Defaults the Billable Rate as follows:
- Stocked and Non-Stocked Materials - Defaults based on the rate basis, rate type (markup or discount), and the markup/discount rate (standard or advanced) defined on the template.
  If you defined rates by break point (in SM Override Category Material or SM Rate Override Material), the system determines the percentage to use based on where the material's cost falls in the defined price break ranges. If the material's total cost is less than the first defined price break, the system uses the standard rate.
- Non-Standard Materials (not in HQ Materials) - Defaults based on the Actual Cost of the work completed line, and the template's rate type (markup or discount) and markup/discount rate (standard or advanced).
  If you defined rates by break point (in SM Override Category Material or SM Rate Override Material), the system determines the percentage to use based on where the material's cost falls in the defined price break ranges. If the material's total cost is less than the first defined price break, the system uses the standard rate.
Purchase - Defaults the billable rate as follows:
- Material Purchases - Rate defaults based on the rate basis, rate type (markup or discount), and the markup/discount rate (standard or advanced) defined on the template.

Note: If the PO item has a UM of LS (i.e. material is non-valid or no material was specified), this field defaults as blank and is disabled.

Once you bill this work completed line (via Job Cost using Job Billing or Accounts Receivable), edits to this field are only allowed using the SM Invoice Review form.

Agreement Work Orders

This field will be enabled/disabled depending on the pricing method defined for work order scopes, or for work completed lines associated with an agreement at the work completed line level, how you set the Non-Billable and Agreement Rates checkboxes. The following discusses each of the different scenarios.

This field is enabled/disabled as follows:

If the work completed line is associated with a Flat Price or Non-Billable scope, this field is disabled and defaults as blank. Work completed will be included in the flat price or in agreement pricing (respectively).
If the work completed line is associated with a Time and Material scope and the Agreement Rates check box is selected for the work completed line, this field is disabled and defaults a value based on the rate template assigned to the agreement.
If the work completed line is associated with a Time and Material scope and the Agreement Rates check box is unselected for the work completed line, this field is enabled and defaults a value based on the rate template assigned to the agreement service (generated scopes) or work order scope (manually added scopes). May be overridden.
If the work completed line is associated with a non-agreement scope, but you specified an agreement for the work completed line and both the Non-Billable and Agreement Rates check boxes are unselected for the work completed line, this field is enabled and will default a value from the rate template assigned to the work order scope. May be overridden.
If the work completed line is associated with a non-agreement scope, but you specified an agreement for the work completed line and the Non-Billable check box is selected for the work completed line, this field is disabled and defaults as blank.
If the work completed line is associated with a non-agreement scope, but you specified an agreement for the work completed line and the Agreement Rates check box is selected for the work completed line, this field is disabled and defaults based on the rate template assigned to the agreement.

For more information about the hierarchy used to determine billable rates, see Equipment Rate Hierarchy, Labor Rate Hierarchy, and/or Material Rate Hierarchy.

Billable ECM

This field only displays when the Line Type is 4-Inventory or 5-Purchase.

Enter the quantity the billable rate represents or accept the default ECM (defaults from Cost ECM).

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

Note: If you change the value in this field, the system automatically recalculates the Billable Rate, leaving the Total Billable intact.

This field is disabled for:

work completed lines with the Non-Billable check box selected
agreement-related work completed lines with the A-Agreement Rates check box selected
work completed lines on a job work order where the Costing Method is Actual Cost
work completed purchase lines on any job work order, regardless of the Costing Method

Total Billable

The system automatically defaults the Total Billable as a calculation of the line's billable rate and "quantity". The defaulted amount for each line type is calculated as follows:

Equipment - Billable Rate x the Time Units or Work Units (depending on the Revenue Basis defined for the revenue in EM Revenue Code)

Labor - Billable Rate x Billable Hrs
Miscellaneous - Billable Rate x Billable Qty, with the following exceptions:

If you did not specify a standard item for the line and you left the Billable Rate field blank, this field defaults as blank and you must enter the total billable amount (0.00 or greater).
If you specified a standard item with a blank Billable Rate , this field defaults to 0.00, but may be overridden.
If the miscellaneous line was generated via AP Transaction Entry and you specified a UM of LS, this field defaults the from the actual cost.
- Inventory - Billable Rate x Quantity. Overriding the defaulted amount will cause the Billable Rate to be recalculated.

Purchase - Billable Rate x Quantity. Overriding the defaulted amount will not recalculate the Billable Rate. You will need to update the Billable Rate manually to prevent discrepancies.

For Lump Sum items, this field is a calculation of the Proj Cost x Markup/Discount Rate (material purchases) or Proj Cost x Markup Percent (non-material purchases).

This field is disabled for:

work completed lines with the Non-Billable check box selected. Since the line is non-billable, this amount will be blank.
Note: If the work completed line is for an agreement work order and the agreement service price method is I-Included in Agreement or P-Periodic (not billed separately), the charge to the customer is included in the agreement price.
work complete lines associated with an Actual Cost job work order. This amount will be equal to the line's cost amount.
work completed purchase lines associated with a Markup job work order. This amount will be calculated as indicated above for purchase lines.
this is a Miscellaneous work completed line generated via AP Transaction Entry for a job-related work order

Tax Type

For manually added work order scopes that reference an agreement, select the pricing method to use for determining billable rates for work completed:

N - Non-Billable — Select this option to include the work covered by this scope in the agreement price; no extra billing will occur.
T - Time and Material — Select this option to bill work covered by this scope separate from the agreement using a rate template. If you check the Agreement Rates box (to the right), the system will use the rate template assigned to the agreement (in SM Agreements). If you do not check the Agreement Rates box, the system will use the rate template specified for the work order scope.
F - Flat Price — Select this option to bill work covered by this scope separate from the agreement; all work covered by this scope will be included in the flat price designated to the right.

You can change the price method for a work order scope (manually added scopes only), as long as you have not billed any work completed lines that reference the scope; the system will automatically update the coverage and pricing for all related work completed lines accordingly. Once you bill one or more work completed lines, this field is disabled.

This field only displays for customer work order scope with a Price Method of F-Flat Price.

Required.

Enter the price that will be charged for the work covered by this work order scope. All work completed lines associated with this work order scope will be included in this price and will show a billing rate/total billing of blank.

For Flat Price work order scopes generated from an agreement (via SM Generate PM Work Orders), this field is disabled, and defaults the flat price specified for the agreement service.

Phase

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.

Note: You are not initially required to enter a phase when adding sequences to a work order; however, you will be required to assign a phase before you can capture work completed.Locked Phases vs. Non-Locked Phases

Phases Locked - If the Phases on this job are locked box is checked (in JC Jobs) for the job specified on the work order, you must enter a phase that is set up for the job in JC Job Phases. If the phase 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.
Phases not Locked - If the Phases on this job are locked box is unchecked (in JC Jobs) for the job specified on the work order, 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). The JC Phases contains phases 03110-120 and 03110-140-. If you enter phase 03110-120-100, the system will allow it since the first 8 characters (bolded) match the first 8 characters of phase 03110-120-. However, if you enter phase 03110-130-, it will not be allowed, since the first 8 characters do not match any phase in JC Phases.

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

Derived

Select this check box 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.

This check box 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 check box 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 check box 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 check box 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).

Amount

This field only displays for work orders where you specify a Price Method of F-Flat Price and is only editable if you have selected both the Ready To Bill and Partial Bill checkboxes.

The amount in this field defaults to the amount remaining to be billed, and is adjustable when you select Partial Bill. The percentage of a the total price that you are billing is reflected in the billing amount percentage field.

Billing Amount Percentage

The percentage in this field defaults to 100% of the ready-to-bill amount, and is adjustable when you select Partial Bill. The adjusted percentage amount is the percent amount that you are billing of the total price.

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.

This field initially defaults the the "bill to" customer specified for this 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.

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

From the drop-down menu, select whether to default the tax code for work completed equipment, labor, miscellaneous, inventory, or purchase lines from the 0 - Service Center or the 1 - Service Site. The field initially defaults to 1-Service Site.

If this work order was generated from a work order quote, this field defaults the tax source specified for the quote sequence. May be overridden.
If the work order was generated from an agreement, this field defaults the tax source defined for the agreement service in SM Service.
If the work order was generated for a job site (instead of a customer site) the Tax Source is grayed-out and cannot be edited.

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

Tax Type

This field only displays for work order scopes with a Price Method of F-Flat Price .

Select the tax type for this scope, or leave blank if taxes are not applicable.

The default for this field is determined by the service site or service center (depending on the Tax Source field's setting):

For US companies, if the item is non-billable or a flat price, and there is a tax rate for the item—and the service center or service site is assigned a tax code—this field defaults as 2-Use. If no tax code is assigned, the tax type defaults as null.
For US companies, if the service center or service site is assigned a tax code, this field defaults as 1-Sales. If a tax code is not assigned, this field defaults as blank.

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 to the left. 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. 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 specified to the left. If no tax code is specified for the service site or service center, this field defaults as blank.

Note: Once you enter a tax code, the system calculates a Tax Amount (shown below this field) based on the taxable split revenue amounts (defined in SM Flat Price Revenue). See the Tax Amount F1 help for more information.

Tax Amount

This field only displays when the Price Method is F-Flat Price.

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 will calculate tax only on the $2,500.00, not the total flat price of $5,000.00.

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.

Not to Exceed

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