You use the 
Work
Order document to register actual item quantities or time used
in connection with the sales order. For example, the document can
be used by staff who perform any kind of processing work in
connection with the sales order. It can also be exported to Excel
if you need to process the sales line data further.
For sales orders where some operation is performed - assembly, installation or other - before the sales order is completed, the program offers a practical printout. The "Work Order" document is a means for work staff to bring with them work-related sales order details and return handwritten values on the document for potential updating of the sales order – if those values are to be invoiced with the sales order. Alternatively, the entered values may reflect internal item and time consumption, which should not be invoiced to the customer, but which must be posted in an item journal or resource journal. The document can serve the following purposes:
List the involved (expected) items and/or resources and quantities
Work instructions
Record quantities used during work on the sales order if different from the expected.
Record extra items and/or resources used during work on the sales order but not invoicable on the sales order. Such extra usage must be posted in item or resource journals in order to account for the internal fluctuation of quantity and/or value.
The work order document is printed with the sales order data preset and it has empty fields for entering actual quantities used during work:
Quantity Used – is for entering the quantity used for the sales order if this quantity is different from the expected quantity (in the Quantity field).
Unit of Measure – is connected to the Quantity Used field and is used if that quantity was used in a different unit of measure.
When opened from a sales order, the filter defaults to that sales order. You can specify what is included in the report by setting filters. If you do not set any filters, the report will include all your records.
On the Sales Order tab, you can fill in the standard field filters, or you can select additional filters. To do this, press F3, click the AssistButton and then select the relevant filter(s). You can also determine what is shown in the report by filling in the fields on the Options tab.
To print the report, click Print. To see the report on the screen before printing it, click Preview. When you print the document, you can print extra copies by filling in the Number of Copies field.
To set filters in the report, fill in the fields as follows:
No.: In the Filter field, you can enter the numbers of the invoices that you want to include in the report.
Sell-to Customer No.: In the Filter field, you can enter the numbers of the sell-to customers that you want to include in the report.
Print to Excel: The data in the work order document can also be exported directly to Excel when you press Print or Preview. To enable this you must place a check mark in the Export to Excel field on the Options tab.
