*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).

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.
