Parts on work orders
How adding, changing and removing parts on a job updates your stock automatically.
When you add a stocked part to a work order, WRMS Pro takes it out of stock straight away. You do not need to adjust inventory separately.
Add a part to a job
You can also type a part that is not in inventory — for example a one-off special order. Free-text parts appear on the invoice but do not affect stock.
What happens to stock
| You… | Stock… | Recorded as |
|---|---|---|
| Add an inventory part to a work order | goes down by the quantity | Work order |
| Increase or reduce the quantity | changes by the difference | Work order |
| Remove the part from the work order | goes back up | Work order |
| Delete the work order | goes back up for every inventory part on it | Work order deleted |
| Convert a quote into a work order | goes down for inventory parts on the quote | Quote converted |
| Add a labour preset that includes inventory parts | goes down, as for any part | Work order |
Stock goes down when the part is added, not when the job is finished
Adding a part to a Pending job reserves it out of stock immediately. If a job is cancelled and the parts go back on the shelf, remove them from the work order (or delete the job) so stock is corrected.
The customer never sees your cost
Unit cost and markup are for your eyes only. Quotes, invoices and shared links show the sell price.
