|
Current Hour Meter/Hour Reading Date |
The unit's current hour meter reading. A current hour meter reading is used in determining the average use per week, it is important to continually update the hour meter reading whenever possible. The date the unit's hour meter reading was recorded. If Months is shown, then this field is not. |
Months |
The number of months left in the service agreement. If Current Hour Meter is shown, then this field is not. |
Customer PO # | The customer's purchase order number. |
Location | Identifies who is responsible for the service agreement contract and is the default location for having the work performed (but can be overridden to another location if desired). |
Pricing Customer / Group |
The customer number to be used for pricing the work. Or a pricing group, as specified on the Customer Pricing screen. Tip: Use the search to select to ensure the correct spelling of the group name. |
Technician | The default technician for work orders and job jackets associated to the service agreement. |
Start Date/Hours | The start date/hours for the selected agreement. |
Expiry Date/Hours | The expiry date/hours for the selected agreement. |
Usage/Week |
Calculated by the system and is used to determine when the next service job is to be performed. Hours Difference = (machine hours) - (contract start hours)
|
Calculate Dates | The system automatically recalculates service agreement dates during the nightly database reorganization. |
Hour Notification |
The number of hours difference between the current hour meter and the scheduled service hour before an hour warning will show on the scheduling tab. A warning appears when the machine hours are within a certain number of hours of the scheduled hours regardless of the date range chosen. |
Type |
The work order type for the selected service agreement and corresponding maintenance. All work orders or job jackets generated for the selected service agreement use the type entered in this field and its associated labor rate. The Type Code dictates the Rate Codes that can be applied to the contract. See Rates. |
Rate Code |
Determines the labor rate per hour. Only rate codes that have been assigned to the selected Type Code can be added to the contract. See Rates. |
Labor Rate |
The labor rate per hour for work orders and job jackets associated to the service agreement. The default rate for this field is derived from either the Type or the customer profile associated to the service agreement, depending on which was most recently changed. For example, if the value for this field was originally 50 based on the service agreement Type, but the associated customer was then changed to a customer with a labor rate of 75, the service agreement labor rate would now carry a default value of 75. |
Reserved $ |
The reserved amount for the entire service agreement (e.g., how much you sold this agreement for). This value must be entered manually. |
W/O Billed $ |
The total dollar amount billed on all completed work orders calculated by the system during a billing run. If you link a work order that has already been processed by a billing run to the selected service agreement, the value in this field is not affected. Only work orders that were closed and billed after being added to the contract are included in the W/O Billed value. |
Projected $ |
Calculated as the reserved amount less all completed jobs, less the value of all remaining jobs. If the job code has already been performed (on any Service Agreement), the system uses the average dollar value of those jobs. If the job code has never been performed, the parts list is retrieved from the job code system. The parts quantity is then multiplied by the current list price (from the master price file) plus the standard job code hours of the job code, times the work order rate per hour on a technician called PM (Planned Maintenance). |
Click on a Stock Number to open the Equipment Profile screen.
Click on the Current Hour Meter entry to open the Update Hours screen.
Click on a Description to open the Job Code Details screen.
If the agreement is in days, weeks, or months, and is an open ended agreement (for example, the dealer rental fleet), the system fills in the first three years (60 months) of scheduled maintenance despite the fact that the Service Agreement is open ended. Any additional periods after the 60 months need to be entered manually.
Note: When a new service agreement is opened, the checkbox default is a check for the calculate dates option. If you have customized the dates on your service agreement contract, leave this box unchecked so that dates are not recalculated.
Note: Make sure you set up a technician called PM (planned maintenance) on the Employee Profile screen and ensure that the work order rate/hour on this technician is a standard representation of your service agreement charge rate.
