Good point. We attach an excel spreadsheet with the details to the invoice.
That may seem like extra work but it actually makes computing the price a
snap.

No doubt about it, that was a real "duh". That will work very well for
the few times a month we bill straight service.
However, the problem of separating out the material/labor from a job and
displaying it on the SO is still a minor challenge. The good news is,
this sparked a lot of conversation and, as another "duh", we're just
going to break it down in the comments field. It's not 100% automatic,
but it's a much cleaner/faster process than how we were doing it before
(no comment).
Ahh to have such simple insight every day....

(As usual) M.M.Reddy makes a LOT of practical sense.
Unless Service (pure labor cost recoup + margin billing) is a regular
part of your revenue stream, it just isn't worth setting up a whole new
multi-faceted business process.
For a one shot deal (or very rare thing - that you probably don't want
to show up in sales analysis anyway) - a Misc Invoice is a very
efficient 'good enough' process.

We do miscellaneous charges for this on an Miscellaneous Invoice. We
never create a Sales Order for it.

Do any of you bill for labor only, and if so how are you capturing it?
We have a couple circumstances where we do labor on it's own. One is
service work out in the field, we have a non-qty bearing part called
"SERVICE" and use it currently, but I am hoping I'm missing something
easy to not have it tied to a part.
In addition we do some internal repair work where we bill labor &
material seperately, as labor isn't taxed in some regions and material
is. In those cases we have a non-qty bearing part called "LABOR" to
capture, but same story as above.
Is there any way to get labor only without a part number? If not, is
there a better way of flagging our "parts" we use for labor aside from
non-qty bearing?
