How is the price of a work order calculated?
The price of a work order is not entered as a single total. It is built from lines, and the total is their sum. The calculation is below, with an example.
Short answer
- The total of the order is the sum of its lines: quantity × unit price, for each line.
- Each line is either labour (an operation) or a part, and has its own unit price.
- The default prices come from the catalogue of operations and parts, but a line's price can differ from the catalogue.
- The default currency of a work order is RON.
An example with figures
An example with made-up figures, for the calculation: oil change, labour 1 × 150 RON; oil filter, 1 × 60 RON; engine oil, 4 × 45 RON. Total: 150 + 60 + 180 = 390 RON. Your figures are the ones in your own catalogue.
What the calculation does not do
- It does not add VAT and does not issue an invoice: the invoice is made separately, outside the app.
- It has no discount field on the order.
Common mistakes
- An out-of-date catalogue: orders start from old prices if you do not check them before giving them to the customer.
