Work Order Creation
One-to-One Relationship: Sales orders will maintain a one-to-one relationship with work orders. A parent sales order will correspond to a parent work order, and child sales orders will correspond to child work orders.
Consumption and Revenue Separation:
Parent sales orders: Used to relieve inventory and post costs to the project.
Child sales orders: Contain revenue but no cost.
Work orders for homes will be created at the project level (parent) and house level (child).
Service Appointments
No service appointments will be created for child work orders by Goldfinch ERP. Instead, FSL will handle appointment creation as needed.
FSL will create default appointments (e.g., digging and installation) but allow dispatchers to schedule additional ones as required.
Parent-Child Relationship
Identification: Parent-child relationships will be defined by a
Parent Work Order
field.Opportunity Checkbox: The
Is Parent
checkbox on the opportunity will help determine parent and child sales orders.
Material Consumption
Inventory Management: Inventory will only be managed in Goldfinch ERP. FSL will not consume inventory.
Additional Materials: If additional materials are needed, a new sales order will be created in Goldfinch ERP.
Field Requirements for Work Orders
Goldfinch ERP will populate specific fields on work orders when created from sales orders. These fields include:
Feet of fence to install.
Number of posts to install.
Further refinement of required fields will be communicated by FSL.
Service Report & eSign
Service Report as a Letter of Satisfaction: FSL service reports will serve as a letter of satisfaction, triggering invoicing when signed in the field.
Fallback Option: If not signed in the field, the service report will be emailed for an e-signature using the Goldfinch eSign portal.
The Goldfinch eSign portal is currently configured to handle Opportunity Quotes.
Additional development work is required to extend the eSign functionality to include Service Reports
Development of this functionality will commence after FSL finalizes the service report template.
The service report template defines the data FSL requires (e.g., number of posts, feet of fence) for reporting and e-signature purposes. Goldfinch needs to ensure these fields are correctly populated in the work orders it sends to FSL.
If the service report template requires a specific format or layout, the Goldfinch eSign integration might need to align with that to ensure it can send the correct document for signature.
