Using a Part in a Work Order or Invoice
How parts are allocated and applied
If you have active inventory, inventory tracking is turned on, and have looked at how parts are received - then it's time to see how parts are applied to work orders and/or invoices (affecting quantity in stock).
Let's look at how this works by applying a Slick mag to a work order and then invoicing the customer for this installation. Start by opening an Aircraft Profile and then selecting "+ New Work Order":
We're going to add the labor and the part information. For labor, we apply the discrepancy and corrective action. For the part, we select the Parts Tab and click on the "+ Part":
We can begin typing the part name and the part will automatically populate ("slick...") and hit Save:
The part will then show up in the Parts Tab of the Work Order:
At this point, if we were to check our parts inventory for the "Slick Mag", we would see that a quantity of 1 has been applied to this work order (#1023) and Quantity has dropped by one:
We can then convert the work order to an invoice:
You would see the parts applied to the invoice here as shown here:
