DBM labor cost in the pricing

Former Member

Dear Friends,

We plan to use DBM Time Management . When the technician clocks in time, the labor cost hits the internal order correctly. But, the same cost doesn't hit my labor cost condition type in the pricing. Due to this, my profit center in the billing is wrong.

What am I missing here? Couldnt find any documentation regarding this

Appreciate your help

Best regards,

Shafi

Hi

do I understand your issue right that you expect condition type EK01 or EK02 filled automatically?

This is not the case for DBM.

Why is your profit center in billing wrong. Woulkd you be so kind to explain the issue in more detail?

thanks

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Yes, you are right. I was looking for a functionality similar to EK01/EK02. Yes, now I gather that is not possible through DBM.

There was a typo in my original message. What I meant to say is that my profit margin in the billing is wrong.

I am thinking of developing a Z report to get the actual cost from the CO and calculate the gross margin.

Do you have any alternative suggestions? Would really appreciate it.

Best regards,

Shafi

Hi

if you want to have your profit margin on the SD order 100% accurate this is the only way but this will have a big impact on performance. As normally labor rates don´t differ so much I would recommend to create a condition type where you maintain the average labor rate. This gives you a profit margin as well but not as accurate.

In CO PA you get the right figures but normally you don´t do this order level

regards

Stephan

Hi,

Check in time management. Whether it is updating DBM service order or not. Also check for co doument no. in the field under column from/to field

Thanks and regards
