You can optionally roll a child work order's costs into the parent work order for reporting purposes. You can perform cost roll ups on ad hoc work orders because the cost roll up is independent of scheduling relationships. You can base the cost roll up, within a hierarchy, on scheduling relationships, as well. Scheduling relationships are not required to roll up costs within a hierarchy. You may create a cost reporting hierarchy that is different than the scheduling hierarchy.
To create work order costing relationships:
Navigate to the Work Orders page (Maintenance Super User > Work Orders).
Query a work order (See: Viewing Work Orders).
Click the work order and select the Work Relationships sub-tab.
To view the cost roll up of a child work order, click View Costs.
Click the Update Alternate Cost Hierarchy to create a cost reporting hierarchy . You can create new work orders or add existing work orders.
Alternatively, to establish a cost reporting hierarchy by importing the parent-child work order hierarchy, click the Import Work Hierarchy button.
A confirmation message displays and the work order is added as a cost child.
