Creating and Receiving Service Orders

Creating a Service Order allows the user to create and update an order of services performed by external companies. Within these, the Vendor performing these services is specified for the order as a whole. Upon creation of the Service Order as a whole, the orders for specific Items, or services completed by the specified Vendor, are created individually. Although the Service Order is conducted through an action and cannot physically be received, the Order Receiving is utilized to indicate the service has been completed.

The following is the basic life cycle of a Service Order, from the creation of the order as a whole to the creation of the order for the specific Item, or Service, along with the closing through the Order Receiving:

Once a Service Order goes through this basic life cycle, and is authorized, if necessary per the company's operating procedures, and has been closed in the system through being received, the Service Order Process is complete.
