Work Order Data Process Flow

This section describes the data flow of a work order through the system and when the entries are deleted from the files. It assumes you understand and are aware of data files.

  1. When you open a work order, IntelliDealer creates entries in the work order files (WOH and WOR).

  2. If you enter quote information on the quote/estimate tab, IntelliDealer puts the data into the WOQUO file.

  3. Users can charge parts and labor to the work order while it’s open. IntelliDealer posts:

    • requisition data to the SALORD and SALDET files to include any parts and miscellaneous charges put onto the work order

    • labor data to the WOLAB file

    • time scan data to WOTTM, but it doesn't have anything to do with billing

  4. The parts billing processes all individual transactions for parts, miscellaneous charges and labor during the life-cycle of the work order and posts the entries into the work in progress accounts (WIP).

  5. When the work order is closed and billed:

    • G/L entries are posted for taxes

    • other entries are posted for the final amounts (such as internal charges to stock numbers, quote adjustment amounts, and so on)

    • parts and labor entries are taken out of WIP

    • the work order status is set to closed and then the work order is billed (WHUSE = 'B' in the WOH file)

  6. The next FULL database removes the work order from all open work order files (WOH, WOR, SALDET, SALORD, WOLAB, etc).

Note:  The customer quoted (CQ) value is displayed on the work order preview screen. A closed and billed work order displays the CQ value before the full database purge. The value is not shown after.
