 Service Order

The Service Order module does the following:

  • Lets you create service quotes and orders quickly and efficiently.
  • Accommodates both fixed price and time and material service work.
  • Facilitates entering labour and material cost transactions against open service orders.
  • Turns completed service orders into invoices.

Maintains historical service information by invoice and customer unit.

You can define multiple work classes to store standard service descriptions and pricing (e.g. tune up engine – $129). You can also define work codes to describe labour performed (e.g. changed spark plugs). A technician file maintains labour charge rates and internal costs.

The Service Order Entry screen lets you enter customer information as well as details on the unit to be serviced. The system comes with six user-defined fields to enter unit particulars (e.g. unit number, make, model, serial number). You enter work classes to describe the service work required and then indicate whether the line item is to be billed fixed-price or time-and-material. You can then print a hard copy of the order for the shop.

All new contracts are subject to a credit check before printing.

As work is performed, time and material can be posted against the service order. Labour and material transactions can either be recorded on the back of the service order and entered once the job is complete, or entered when issued and done. Purchase requisitions for non-stock items and subcontracts can also be created and costed against service orders.

Once a service order is complete, you can invoice it. Whether fixed price or time-and-material, invoices are properly costed and posted throughout the system. The billing program lets you add freight charges and shop supplies, perform cash sales and bill in foreign currencies.

If using Fixed Assets, internal service orders can be processed for servicing your company’s assets.

Five inquiries let you monitor outstanding orders and inquire on historical work by particular customer unit. Full invoice details are kept including cost hours and purchase requisition information.

Management reports include open order reports, sales reports and a Work In Progress report.

The service quotation system lets you track open quotes, transfer quotes to orders or to lost history and then report on lost history by reason code.

This module integrates with Inventory, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets and General Ledger. It can also be interfaced with Payroll.

 What's New?
AIMS Handheld

AIMS Handheld allows picking, issuing and inventory counting all through handheld devices.

Pick slips are pulled into the handheld, pickers then scan items and enter quantity picked. This information is then transferred back to the AIMS system for packing slip generation. Handhelds can also issue material to service orders or manufacturing workorders and collect physical count information. Currently only Symbol hardware is supported and development is underway to further enhance this module.

 
AIMS E-Commerce Data Transfer

AIMS E-Commerce data transfer passes data between your AIMS system and an E-Commerce shopping site. Data transferred includes inventory items and pricing from the AIMS server to the E-Commerce server and online orders from the E-Commerce server back to AIMS.

You can also pass customer, ship-to, shipping and sales history data from AIMS to the E-Commerce server.

 
AIMS Data Warehousing

AIMS Data Warehousing pushes your AIMS data to a true SQL database on a routine basis (say nightly). From there you can extract using common reporting tools like Crystal Reports, Excel and Access, or write your own program with C#, Visual Basic or any other SQL language.

Your AIMS data can be pushed to either MS SQL Server or the Firebird database and AIMS Data Warehousing includes pre-defined sales analysis and job costing views along with a great pivot writer.
