Create and void work order parts transactions

The parts inventory allows an agency to track the usage and the supply of consumable parts. As your agency uses parts, the available supply automatically updates, and Civic Platform maintains an accurate count of quantity on hand for the part and location.

Part transactions include issuing specific parts to a work order. When you take out parts from the stock on hand and issue them to a work order, Civic Platform generates an issue part transaction. When you save the transaction, Civic Platform decreases the quantity on hand by the transaction quantity and then increases the total cost of the work order by the cost of the transaction.

Example: A new development in the city requires the installation of five new lamp posts. The lamp posts cost $300 per unit. You generate a work order for the installation and Civic Platform issues the five lamp posts to the work order. Civic Platform generates an issue part transaction and then decreases the quantity on hand of lamp posts for the location by five. The total cost of the work order increases by $1500, which is the total cost of the transaction.

If an asset you have linked to a work order has parts associated to it, you can add these standard parts to the work order. For information about adding standard parts to a work order, see Add standard parts. For information about associating parts to an asset, see Add, view, and delete associated parts to an asset.
