How do I enter a Custom Application when I am Billed for the Inputs

In this article we'll link to the three steps you need to complete in order to handle custom application costs, while being billed for the inputs.

Let's walk through a scenario where you have a custom application that totals $5,000.  $3,500 for the supplies and $1,500 for the labor.

1. Purchase the line item custom application and allocate to the fields

• Create your payment transaction and then select the fields you are allocating this expense to

Here, we have created a transaction line item for the $1,500 of labor and allocated it to the applicable fields.  In this case, there are two of them.

2. Purchase the supplies

• Create a payment transaction that accounts for the inventory of the supplies at the cost for the application

Since we are also purchasing the supplies for this application from the same company, we can add the transactions line items to the same transaction we had above.

3. Create the field record to deplete the supplies and track the product use

• Create an application field record for the same supplies you purchased to remove them from your inventory and track their usage on the field

I selected both fields and then entered the same quantity I purchased in the previous transaction, so the entire inventory from the purchase would be used.
