It is possible to create sales lines for all the service types defined for a
component repair order line. Sales lines can be created and transferred to a
customer order at any time during the repair process. All sales lines with a
price exceeding zero are created in status Invoiceable, it is always possible to
change the state to Non-Invoiceable as long as the sales line isn’t in
Transferred state.
The grouping to sales lines is similar to the cost line grouping. For service
types defined with the invoice type, service price, fixed price, free of charge
and invoice plan is one sales line created with the non-inventory sales part
connected to the service type as invoicing object. The sales line price based on
the price defined for the service type in the Service Type tab. For service
types defined with the invoice type resources used are several sales lines
created based on the cost lines, one for each cost category, with the sales
parts connected to the cost categories as the invoicing objects. The sales line
price is instead based on the cost line calculations and the offsets defined for
the cost categories. As long as a sales line isn’t transferred for invoicing is
it possible to update the sales line price.
Invoice part of the work scope
For a service type defined on a repair line with the invoice type resources can sales lines be created and transferred for invoicing before the whole work scope is accomplished, i.e. it is possible to invoice for instance the inspection before performing the repair of the part. When re-generating the sales lines will the transferred lines remain in Transferred state. New are created based on the transactions matching the work performed after the previous generation of sales lines. This facilitates when it is necessary to invoice a the repair work scope for a service type defined with the invoice type resources in more than one step.
