Additional Procurement Processes

The previous sections described the commonly used procurement processes. This section describes some additional processes.

Service Module Integration

If a job line has Procurement Channel = Service Order, a new Service Order will be created during the release process with a link to the job line. The service item can be added manually in a service line or set up in the procurement line.

In the Service Order, notice the link to the job line in the Job FastTab.

On the Lines FastTab, choose Order > Service Lines to enter the resources, items, and so on.

Choose the Post action and with the Ship and Consume option selected, choose the OK button to create project ledger entries to the linked job line.

Job Order

A Job Order is a summarized procurement view for a part of a job based on the normal procurement lines. This is an additional document to the existing procurement documents and provides a better overview for a job within a job.

To create a Job Order for a procurement line(s), the Procurement by Job Order checkbox must be selected, either directly on the line or can be preset on the component.

After the procurement planning process, COSMO Project Manufacturing will create a Job Order document in addition to all other procurement documents.

The lines in the Job Order can be used like normal procurement lines; the same functionality is available. However, to release lines for creating procurement documents, on the Lines FastTab, choose Functions > Release All or Release Line for a single line.

The information in the Job Order is transferred to the Job Planning and Procurement page.

Posting by General Journal

Another way of creating job usage is by directly posting a general journal. To assign the journal entry to the job line, the following fields must be shown in the General Journal page:

• Usage Job No.
• Usage WBS

Project ledger entries are created when the General Journal is posted.
