Create a Work Order

Overview

The Work Order is a standard Salesforce object. Its application of use will vary according to your needs. The instructions below only include information to create a Work Order that is relevant for Accounting Seed (Account, Product, Unit Price, Quantity, and GL Variable 1-4).

Prerequisites

• In order to use the Work Orders module, Accounting Seed’s Orders and Inventory and Field Service Lightning (“FSL”) Connector packages will need to be installed.  
• The Work Orders feature is only enabled in the Lightning UI.  Additionally, users will need to be assigned the Billing from Work Order Permission Set.  
• Please ensure that the Work Order field is added to the Billing page layout and that the Work Order Line Item field is added to the Billing Line page layout.
