About Prorating a Service Item

Adding Service Items to the cost of an item increases the stocked item average cost for that item. To avoid this increase, you can add the Service Item to issue on receipt items only. Then, items issued directly to a Work Order (WO), General Ledger Account (GL), Location, or Asset have the Service Item added to only the cost of the individual item. Service Items is added to the Line Cost for the item. The total for the line does not appear on the PR Lines tab, but does appear in the Loaded Cost column on the PO and Invoice Lines tabs. To add the cost of service items to a Purchase Request (PR), Purchase Order (PO) or Invoice lines, select PO Options from the Select Action menu in Organizations, and check Add Service Item Costs to Direct Issue Lines Only check box.
