In the Extended Service Setup it can be activated that a Service Item Line can only be created once a Service Order Type has been set up.
This is an extension of the standard mandatory field setup in the Service Management Setup and can therefore also be seen and set up there.
If the said setup is activated, the Service Item Line cannot be edited in the Service Quote or Service Order.

As part of NVXASM Extended Service, the standard Service Item comments have also been enhanced.
If you are working on a Service Order, Service Quote or Service Item, you can choose between different Service Item comment categories via Comments.
A Service Item comment can then be created for a specific category. If, on the other hand, the All option is selected, comments can be entered for all categories.
The Show Comment Text function can be used to enter comments in continuous text form. After confirming the entry, the entered text is automatically divided into the comment lines and can be subsequently adjusted at line level.

You can assign a Service Zone Code to a ZIP code in the Post Codes table.
This linked Service Zone Code is then automatically prefilled using the ZIP code or location defined in the Address & Contact tab for the desired customer.
Docs / NVXASM Extended Service / Arbeiten mit der App Creating a service order from a sales order
NVXASM Extended Service allows you to create a service order from a sales order.
To do this, you must be in a sales order. You will find the "Create service order" function in the sales order lines under Lines - Functions.
The "Create service order" function can only be called up if the status of the sales order is set to Released.
If the status of the sales order has not yet been released, you will receive an error message.
When you call up the "Create service order" function, the request page opens.
The following fields can be found on the request page:
Sales to debtor number: is pre-assigned with the debtor no. of the associated sales order and can be edited.
Service order type: uses the project task line type to control whether it is a sale, maintenance or warranty.
Sales order line no.: The current sales order and items assigned to a service item group are filtered here.
Service item line no.: The service order number linked to the current sales order is filtered here.
Service item no.: The customer no. is filtered here.
Either the sales order line no. OR the service item line no. OR the service item no. can be selected.
After filling in and confirming the mask, a service order and a new service item are created. The sales order is archived, if archiving for orders is activated in the Accounts Sales & Receivables Setup.
