Our organization has divisions with vendor contracts that perform recurring services at many locations. How can the purchase contract lines be configures to allow the user to populate work orders or locations so that when the release is cut the PO contains the correct data? We know in advance where the services will be performed and what the costs will be in most cases. Currently this ver of Maximo does not allow the user to do this, therefore, what happens is the user has to edit the PO lines after the release and key in the work order numbers after the release is done. In some cases this is not a hugh issues, in other cases, it's huge....For example, we have vendors that clean 40 or 50 buildings bi-weekly and bill monthly. Another example is where a vendor takes readings at 80 or 90 stops to check out lift stations monthly and bills monthly. Because a work order can only have one asset or one location assigned to it, we have to have up to 40 or 50 or 80 or 90 work orders out there to capture the billing amounts as the bills come in. If the vendor's services were billed by facility or by asset, that would be one solution, put in reality that's not practical and is not gonna happen. We're gonna get one invoice with one or more lines for the services at one or more locations. Is anyone else out there faced with a similar situation? If so, what is your solution to reduce the number of touch points?
