Why:
Automatic consumables are added to orders to cover any incidental costs incurred by the dealer which have not been accounted for in the order lines section of the order. The calculation of automatic consumables is controlled by a parameter as well as the set up in the Category Code.
Not all markets use this function and it’s availability is controlled by a parameter.
Where:
From the Workshop Order View, open the order you want to invoice and select Order > Auto Consumables.
How to Add Automatic Consumables to Workshop Orders:
The Auto Consumables window displays the auto consumables calculation by payment category. You should always check the payment code and for a contract or warranty order a job code must also be input.
If you try to amend a value for a particular category and in the category code set up there’s no operation code, an error message will appear. You won’t be allowed to input a value until the operation code has been set up. However, you will be able to proceed if an operation code but no values have been set up for a particular category.
If updates are made to the auto consumables, but then more lines are added to the order then the updates won’t be saved. So any amendments should always be the last task completed before printing the invoice.
