  • New WO#:  Set the next work order number here.  Subsequent work order numbers will increase by one (1)    
  • Overhead Part Markup: This option marks up parts by the percentage, by the percentage (%) you set here. This allows you the ability to account for your overhead expenses.   NOTE:  Does not affect your invoice price points or markups
  • Autolink Parts to Assets: This automatically links parts used on work orders,  to the asset that was worked on.  This automatically creates an accurate part list for your asset
  • Set Inventory Consumed to Completed Date: 
    • ON:  Sets the consumed date of parts used on work orders, to the work order's completed date.  
    • OFF:  Sets the consumed date to the day you listed the part on the work order
  • Schedules Due At:  Set the percentage at which the program should consider your PM schedules as being "Due."  
    For Example, if you set this to 90%, the system will indicate early that it's time to turn your PMs into Work Orders, once they cross the 90% mark 
  • Post Budget Transaction On:  Determine when you would like budget expenses to "hit the books."  Either:
    • Date Completed:  The recommended, default setting
    • Date At Time Posted:  Used only if your organization has a policy against backlogging expenses
  • Post Re-Posted Budget Transaction:  If you reopen a work order, the recorded transaction is reversed.  This setting let's you decide when the reposted transaction should be dated: 
    • Stay with the Date Completed (the recommended, default setting)
    • Go with the new Date of Time Posted option (Used only if your organization has a policy against backlogging expenses)
  • Default Work Type:  New, unscheduled work orders will start with this work type (does not apply to scheduled PMs, which have their work type pre-set)
  • Assign Vendor:  Gives you the option to assign Vendors to a work order (rather than just users of the program)
