Service Order and Power By The Hour Process

The Service Orders window within the Orders module allows the user to create and update a Service Order for services that will be performed by external companies. These services may be performed during maintenance checks, or overhaul of components or even just general work within the company. The costs can be charged to work orders as per other Order Types. The receiving of a Service Order will close it and update the financials. It is important to note that the purpose of the Service Order is typically for tracking intangible goods such cleaning/washing the aircraft, out-base contractor maintenance, etc. The Power By The Hour option allows the user to create and receive Service Orders for any Power By The Hour (PBH) Items. The automatic receiving of the PBH Service Order updates the financial records by creating the appropriate journal entry transactions.

The following process flow is a general guide for the configuration, creation, and receiving of the Service Order life cycle. This life cycle may vary depending on each user and their company's customized protocols.

The following sections are the primary elements covered in this process flow:

• S/V Setup and Configuration
