Processing and Scheduling can be used to assign internal jobs to groups, track time spent on these jobs, and assign a cost to this work that can be applied to the order.
- Click on Orders> Create A New Order
The **Process Group** will display in the lower right window of your new order screen. This can also be added after an order has been entered.
- Select your process group based on the job that needs to be created.
- To view orders that have jobs assigned to them, click on Processing & Scheduling within your Orders module.
💡 Not all users will have access to Processing & Scheduling.
Process names, group, and the ability to assign these will be controlled within the Administration panel.
- Click Manage and then Schedule Order
- Add all necessary criteria to schedule this process for the order
Select a **specific process**, a **beginning date** for that group to start the work, and an **estimate of how much time** will be needed to complete the job.
⚠️ Adding an End Date will mark the job complete
Only select this date when the process has been completed.
- Assign a user to manage the job
- Click on Save
- Add costs to the order
To add **final costs** to the order from this process, click back into **Manage** within the order in **Processing & Scheduling**
💡 Adding costs to the order is not required
Only add these costs if you would like to apply **net costs** to your order and/or add **sell prices** to this new line item within your order.
- Add Cost Information
Select your **Book Period**, add the **qty** (typically 1) and the **cost** of this job. The line item within the **Art Center** or **Fulfillment Center** will prepopulate with charges associated with these processes.
- Click on Save
The charges have now been added to the order.
- View the line item addition to the order
Only nets associated to the cost of the process will have been added to the order
