To estimate service order costs

You can specify a service order's requirements in the following sessions:

  • Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000)
  • Service Order Estimated Labor Costs (tssoc2130m000)
  • Service Order Estimated Other Costs (tssoc2140m000)

A cost component, used as a method for cost control must be related to every estimated cost line and actual cost line.

Purpose to estimate service order costs
  • To budget the costs (that are task setting) of carrying out the service order when price agreements are fixed.
  • To ensure that the materials are available by allocating or ordering the required materials.
  • To ensure that the service engineers are available by allocating the required service engineers.
  • To ensure that the tools are available by allocating the required tools.
Note
  • If you add a reference activity to a service order, the reference activity's cost lines are copied to the service order's requirements.
  • If you generate a service order from a planned activities, a call, or a field change order, the cost lines linked to the constituent reference activities are copied to the service order's requirements.
