Service only orders (i.e. pure jobs) do not drive production from a bill of material; indeed they involve no inventory whatsoever. Their role is to allow you to track production on a work order and link a charge (resale) on an invoice to a customer (no cost of goods sold is involved).

  • Navigate to Sales > Quotes > New Quote.
  • Click on the pencil icon to fill out the header information as usual. Press Ok.
  • Click Add Line.
  • Fill out the input fields as usual. Make sure that Charge is selected for Trans Code. Press Ok.
  • After all lines and data are added, click Commit To Order from the left side nav menu.
  • Click Commit to Order.

Note: you can also use Build orders (instead of Charge) to drive pure service-level jobs. Just make sure the Allow BOM Zero Components configuration variable is turned on.

Note: you can still track jobs with customer supplied material and drive production from a BOM like a normal work order. To do so, just receive components in (without a PO) at zero cost to reflect the acquisition of customer supplied material; this material will be relieved (at zero cost) upon shipment of the order to the customer to reflect the relief of customer supplied inventory.
