Work orders, labour and cost
Raising a work order in FlyerOS, adding task cards, labour and parts, rolling them up to a cost, and posting that cost to billing as a reviewed draft.
Last reviewed
A work order is how a piece of maintenance is planned, carried out and costed in one place. It gathers the tasks, the parts and the labour against a single aircraft and a single job.
What a work order gathers
- Task cards, the individual jobs to be done, each with its reference and whether it needs a qualified inspector.
- Parts, drawn from stock with their batch and certification, so what was fitted is traceable.
- Labour, the time booked against the job.
Rolled up to a cost
Parts and labour roll up to a cost on the work order, so you can see what a job actually came to rather than reconstructing it later. The figure is built from what was used, not estimated.
Posted to billing, deliberately
When a job should be charged, its cost posts to billing as a reviewed draft. It is never posted automatically: someone looks at it first, and only then does it become an invoice line. That keeps a customer charge from a maintenance job deliberate and checkable.
Cleared by a release
A work order is completed by a release that returns the aircraft to service. See Releasing an aircraft back to service.
