Overview
This section will cover the Services Required portion of the Parts/Services/Tools tab. The Services Required section is for creating a Service Order, also referred to as a Repair Order, for a part that requires work beyond the capabilities of your shop. This part may be an inventory item that will be overhauled by an outside service, or an item removed from your customer’s aircraft which will be sent out for work.
Once the order has been created it will appear in the Purchase Order List page and will be flagged with a checkmark . When the outside work has been completed and you are receiving the material back into your shop, AMI allows you to receive the part directly to your work order (see Receiving more details).
Click the Actions icon to the right Services Required card and select Add a Services PO link. When the Add New Services Purchase Order window opens, select the vendor and add any PO Internal Notes, then press the blue Submit button to be redirected to the Services Purchase Order page.
Once on the Services Purchase Order page, select the Edit Pencil next to Terms & Logistics, then add your Ship Method and press the blue Submit button.
Next, press the Add Services Item + button to open a window where you can add a Short Service Description (max of 100 chars), Squawk Number, any Anticipated Cost, Anticipated Sell Price, Part Number, Serial Number, and Quantity.
Use the Statement of Work field to add any notes or instructions that you want to pass to the vendor, then press the blue Add Line button.
Click the Actions icon to the right of the screen and select Issue Purchase Order.
From the Preview window, click the Download icon download a copy for your records and click the Email icon
to email the service order to your vendor.
The Services Required section will now display the service order, order status, vendor, and a summary of the work to be performed.
