Job Profitability Reporting

Using 2013 ERP 100 Advanced SP 4 .

We're in the Job Service Industry (we repair Balers, compactors, etc).

We are trying to do a dashboard/report  where we can tie in PO's and SO's together. 

We will issue PO's to 3rd party contractors to actually do a repair on equipment and then issue a SO to our customer to bill them for the repair.

I thought this would be fairly simple to do, but its proven much more difficult.

Wonder if anyone has any ideas as how to get this to work?

Thanks.

    Do you use the Job Cost module? In the PO do you indicate which SO it is for and in the SO indicate which PO it is for?

    You may want to look at generating the PO from the SO if you know you are going to issue the PO for service.  Look at PO Setup / Generate tab - there you can configure settings to allow generation of POs from SOs.  There's also a setting to use the SO number for the PO - which if used, might facilitate the reporting you are looking for.  Regardless, the generation will tie the PO(s) to the SO.  It's actually pretty slick.  Of course, you can manually add the SO number to the PO.
