This section of the job form contains a grid that is used to record and automatically price any stock (parts, tests or labour) used in a job that will be invoiced to a customer.
Price calculations are in direct relation to the price levels, price breaks and tax requirements as set in the customer's cardfile, and the stock pricing calculation as set in each stock record. The stock grid calculates the sub-total of the selling price, tax amount and total to be invoiced as stock is added to the grid.
If pre-configured in the stock tab of the Item, stock can be added automatically when an Item is selected in the Job header.
This is commonly used when adding stock where certain conditions are imposed on the job, such as running product tests prior to selling (Applies stock). More lines of stock can also be added after the Item has populated the stock grid.
Click the  in the top left corner of the grid to display all fields.
The stock grid area can be expanded by clicking and dragging the horizontal dots up and down. Double clicking the dots will hide the stock grid completely. Double click again to show.

Status

Status allows recording of a unique status for each stock line. The type of status available (statuses already set up in Jim2) will change depending on the type of stock. In this example labour stock has different statuses to depleting stock.

PO#
|
The purchase order number related to this line of stock. This will show when a purchase order has been auto created from the job.
Note: A purchase order number cannot be added here – it will automatically populate on auto create.

This displays the due date of the linked purchase order at line level or purchase order header due date (if not set at line level).

The user adding stock must select a stock code to identify the product or service being tracked by this job.

Description
|
The description of the stock code from the stock record is automatically placed in this field. Information in this field can be changed or added to. If multiple measures have been set up for this stock, it will use the description appropriate for each measure.

If the stock requires a serial number on sale, the stock can be added to the job, however the job cannot be invoiced until a serial number has been entered. To complete the details, select the ellipsis [...] and record the appropriate serial numbers. When trying to finish a job with missing serial numbers, an option to back order will appear. If No is selected, the invoice will only be for the stock that has serial numbers against them, and the others will not be back ordered.
