Connect Sales Part to Maintenance Organization

Explanation

Use this activity to connect a sales part to a maintenance organization. A sales part can represent a rate for a certain job, e.g. emergency service, or time, e.g., overtime. A maintenance organization can have more than one sales part connected to it and one sales part must be defined as default. The default sales part will appear automatically when selecting a maintenance organization on a craft line, preparing a PM action or creating a standard job. The default sales part will also appear when reporting in time on a work order without specifying an employee and craft on the time report line. 

The connection of a sales part to the maintenance organization has the same purpose as the connection of a sales part to a craft. However, the sales part (and hourly rate) for maintenance organization will only be used if a craft id is not defined on a craft line or time report line. This allows for simpler preparation and reporting of work orders, not forcing the you to select a craft ID to plan the revenue and prepare a work order for invoicing.

Prerequisites

• Maintenance organization must exist in IFS/Basic Data for Maintenance.
