Place a package on a work order

1. At the EMMS main menu, click the Work Orders button. The Work Orders display screen appears.
2. Right-click on the work order and select Change. The Edit Work Order change screen appears.
3. Click Select Package. The Select Package screen appears, listing packages that are valid to select based on the work order open date.
   • The Select Package screen allows you to display individual packages in order to see more information before making a selection.
   • The Select Package screen shows the price that is going to be charged to the customer for the package as determined by the work order date, unit, customer, customer class, and shop. In short, it calls the routine to price the package as per the package pricing structure. This is to help you in selecting the correct package.
4. Right-click on the package to be placed and select Select. You return to the Edit Work Order change screen where a work order line for the package will have been added.
   • Parts from the package will be added as open part lines.
   • Charges from the package will be added to the work order line.
   • Any comments from the package will be added as general work order comments on the line.
5. Once the package has been placed on the work order, you can add parts, charges, labor, and comments as usual. Everything added to the package work order line will be considered part of the package and charged out at the package price.
   • If the package has a maximum part cost, that will be validated against any new parts put onto the line. For example, if the maximum cost is $100, no parts can be added to the work order that exceed that cost. The unknown part can be on the work order; it isn't allowed on the package definition.
   • In addition to being able to add more parts and charges, you can also delete what may have been there.
