Create a New Work Order on the Fly

If you want to create a new work order while entering a new time charge from the Resource Time Charge page you can do so by selecting the Create New Work Order option. This will implement the Work Order on the Fly feature.

When you save the time charge, TMS creates a new work order with a description of "Generated by a Resource Time Charge Work Order on the Fly" and required values based on the Work Order module defaults (Setup > Work Orders > Defaults).

You can view the new work order's number in the grid on the Resource Time Charges page, or you can use Work Order Query (Work Orders > Query) to search for the work order, either by the default description or by the Time Charge(s) By field. If you look at the new work order record, you'll notice that the time charge you entered is displayed in the Time Charges grid, and the cost of the time charge is reflected in the work order's Total Charge Amount and Total Cost fields.

Any discount or markup applied to a material issue or time charge with a Contracts Term will not be applied to the Total Cost on the work order, or the Cost field on a material issue or time charge. The discount or markup will only be visible in the Contract Adjusted Cost field on the applicable material issue or time charge.
