Service Orders outline the work (being) done to remedy a service problem. In SERVICE, the Service Order document is always connected with a CARE Request. Service Orders are useful for billing purposes, and to show customers what service has been provided.
Typically, a service order is generated for each visit to the customer’s site or a single repair at the factory.
Create a Service Order by clicking a button on an Open Service Request.
