Calculate Cost Lines

The component repair order transaction history serves as the basis for creating cost lines for all service types independent of invoice types. You can calculate cost lines at any time during the processing of the component repair order line in order to get an overview of the costs and of how they have grown compared to the price. The grouping to cost lines is done based on cost category and service type per component repair order line.

For a service type defined with the invoice type Resources Used, the cost lines also serve as a basis when creating sales lines for invoicing of the performed service.
