| Creating and Generating Travel Cost LinesThe travel lines can be created manually or generated
automatically. Creating Travel Cost Lines Generating Travel Cost lines The travel lines can be generated based on Travel Planning Method or Moment of Travel Line Creation. Generating Travel Cost Lines based on Travel Planning
Method Based on the value, the Travel Planning Method field is set to, in the Service Orders (tssoc2100m000) session, the generated travel lines are linked either
to the Service Orders (tssoc2100m000) or the Service Order Activities (tssoc2110m000) session. Header Based If the Travel Planning Method is set to Order Based, the generated travel lines are linked to the Service Orders (tssoc2100m000) header. For each type of travel cost line ( Travel Distance/ Travel Time), a separate cost lines is generated. You cannot enter a
serialized item on the service order header, hence the contract coverage is
based on the contract set up for the Installation Group defined in the Service Orders (tssoc2100m000) session. Activity Line Based If the Travel Planning Method is set to Activity Based, the generated travel lines are
linked to the Service Order Activities (tssoc2110m000) session. For
each type of travel cost line ( Travel Distance/ Travel Time), multiple cost lines for the service order is generated.
Contract coverage is applicable for the contracts defined for Item and Installation Group. For each unique Location Address specified in the Service Order Activities (tssoc2110m000) session, travel cost lines are generated. LN groups
all the activity lines with the same Location Address to generate travel lines. The travel
lines are linked to the activity line with the lowest activity line
number.
Note - If the Traveling Cost Method is set to Based on Service Order or Activity in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session, creation of the cost lines are
based on the Travel Duration and Travel Distance fields of the service order or
activity.
Generating Travel Cost Lines based on Moment of Travel Line
Creation The Moment of Travel Line Creation field in the Service Order Parameters (tssoc0100m000) session determines the moment of generation
of travel lines; during order entry or during execution of Global Service
Resource Planning (SRP). Generation During Global SRP If the Moment of Travel Line Creation field is set to During Service Order Resource Planning in the Service Order Parameters (tssoc0100m000) session, the
travel lines are generated when the Service Order Resource Planning (tssoc2260m000) session is executed. LN links the
generated travel lines, based on the value Travel Planning Method is set to. When you re-plan a
service order, existing travel lines are deleted and new travel lines are
created. Generation During Order Entry If the Moment of Travel Line Creation field is set to During Order Creation in the Service Order Parameters (tssoc0100m000) session, the travel lines are generated
when a service order is created. LN links the generated travel lines, based on
the value Travel Planning Method is set to. If the Travel Planning Method field in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session is set to Order Based, the travel line is generated immediately after the service
order header is created. If the Travel Planning Method field is set to Activity Based, the travel line is generated
immediately after the service order activity is created.
