Marc, That's a good question. Let me give you a somewhat brief description of what I'm envisioning. Hopefully it explains what we after. Our company provides electronics repair services throughout New Zealand. When someone brings in an item such as a TV or DVD player for repair, we need to capture some additional information before we even start the work. We need somewhere to record what it is (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), as well as the make, model, and serial number (for warranty work). Additionally, we need to enter what the reported problem with the item is. Once the 'job' and related information has been entered into the system, we need to assign it to a technician for work. We'd like the ability to assign new job to a technician and have the technician be able to log on to the system and see his queue of pending jobs. Then, while working, the technician may need to add some journal entries about what he is doing, as well as adding line items from inventory to the job as well as adding labour from services. When the work is finished, the technician can mark the job as 'completed' and it would then show up in the queue for the manager to review and invoice. I'd imagine there would be a function to convert the service job into an invoice, kind of like how CK-Ledger handles converting a Sales Order into an invoice. This service job work model would also be applicable to most any industry that performs repairs or diagnostic maintenance services (such as auto mechanics, plumbers, or PC repairs).

What more do you need that isn't provided by the services module? Marc |
