Entering an Item Group - Service A/C Card
This page describes the fields on the 'Service A/C' card of the Item Group record. Please follow the links below for descriptions of the other cards:
---
- Serv. Invoiceable Sales A/C
- Paste Special Account register, Nominal Ledger/System module
- This field allows you to specify a dedicated Account to be used as the Sales Account when you sell Items belonging to the Item Group in Invoices created from Service Orders.
- In such an Invoice, the Service Invoiceable Sales Account will be taken from the Item record or from the Item Group to which the Item belongs, as follows:
- If you are using the Use Item Groups for Cost Accounts option in the Cost Accounting setting in the Stock module, the Service Invoiceable Sales Account will be taken from the Item Group to which the Item belongs. If that is blank or the Item does not belong to an Item Group, the Service Invoiceable Sales Account will be taken from the Item record.
- If you are not using the Use Item Groups for Cost Accounts option, the Service Invoiceable Sales Account will be taken from the Item record. If that is blank, the Service Invoiceable Sales Account will be taken from the Item Group to which the Item belongs.
If you have not specified Service Invoiceable Sales Accounts in the Item record or in the Item Group, then Sales Accounts in Invoices created from Service Orders will be chosen in the same way as in other Invoices i.e. they will be chosen as listed here (but omitting points 2 and 6).
- Serv. Invoiceable Cost A/C, Serv. Warranty Cost A/C, Serv. Contract Cost A/C, Serv. Goodwill Cost A/C
- Paste Special
Account register, Nominal Ledger/System module
- These fields allow you to specify dedicated Accounts that will be debited with the calculated cost of Stocked Items when you remove them from stock using Work Sheets (in the Service Orders module). Usually these Stocked Items will be spare parts that you use in repairs and maintenance.
- When you remove an Item from stock using a Work Sheet, the choice of Service Cost Account will depend on the Item Type specified on flip B of the Work Sheet row. For example, if the Item Type is "Warranty", the Service Warranty Cost Account will be debited. If the Item Type is "Goodwill", the Service Goodwill Cost Account will be debited.
- The Service Cost Account of the appropriate type will be taken from the Item record or from the Item Group to which the Item belongs, as follows:
- If you are using the Use Item Groups for Cost Accounts option in the Cost Accounting setting in the Stock module, the Service Cost Account will be taken from the Item Group to which the Item belongs. If that is blank or the Item does not belong to an Item Group, the Service Cost Account will be taken from the Item record.
- If you are not using the Use Item Groups for Cost Accounts option, the Service Cost Account will be taken from the Item record. If that is blank, the Service Cost Account will be taken from the Item Group to which the Item belongs.
If you have not specified Service Cost Accounts in the Item record or in the Item Group, then Cost Accounts for spare parts and other Stocked Items used in Work Sheets will be chosen in the same way as in other removals from stock (e.g. Deliveries and Invoices) i.e. they will be chosen as described here.
