Cost Object Information Entry in Work Orders
Work orders communicate information about unique tasks to others who are involved. You can assign record types to a work order and then enter descriptive information into each record type to note the specific details about the task. For example, you might want to include special instructions, and the parts and tools that are needed to complete the task.
When you extract cost object information from a work order, you can base driver information on any field in the Work Order Master File table (F4801). For example, you can base driver volumes on the number of work orders per item, and so on. Since any field can be defined in the cost object rules, you do not need to enter additional cost object information in a work order. You use the flex accounting rules with the predefined cost object rule to automatically retrieve cost object information from the application.
The system stores work order master records in the Work Order Master File table.
