Sub-Account Tab Sub-accounts are used to: – Charge an account for work – Charge an account for services performed and you need to distribute those charges into sub-accounts – Add labor, materials, other, and contractor charges

Repair Centers Tab Path: Accounting > Accounts > Repair Center Tab You can restrict access to an account by assigning specific repair centers. If access to the repair center is granted on the User Management / Data Access–Repair Center Subtab of the logged in user, then the person can select the account. Unless an account has at least one repair center listed, the account is not shown in any selection list.

Cost Tab The read-only Cost Tab displays the posted costs for the selected account. Most organizations do not routinely charge other accounts for the work they do. However, if work is charged, the Accounts / Cost Tab reflects the value of those charges.

Default Account Hierarchy Helps you track work order costs Feature is activated when the Charge check box is marked on the Work Order / Identity Tab Allows WebTMA to automatically populate Account # fields

Charge (Debit) Accounts The Account # field on the Work Order/ Identity Tab is commonly referred to as the charge account. When you perform the Post Charges function, the total cost of the work order is debited from the account entered in this field.

Charge (Debit) Accounts

Credit Accounts The Account # field associated with labor lines, material lines, and other charge lines is commonly referred to as the credit account. The account number designated on a specific line item is the account that will be credited for the amount of that line item when Post Charges is performed.

Material Lines Costs for materials are added to work orders for each part. A default account hierarchy is in place designed to populate the credit Account field specific to the individual material lines.

Other Charge Lines Costs for other charges that cannot be captured as labor or materials costs are also added to work orders.
