Bryan, From the Work Order List Screen when you click on More Actions > Invoice Selected or More Actions > Invoice All it actually goes through and checks to see if the occurrence has any job items, if it doesn't it copies them from the series.  -Michael

 OK, that makes sense. So, one thing I noticed though. When I complete a series of occurences and then send them over to QB on an invoice, the job items from the series are showing up in QB for each of those occurences.   How can that be possible if you said it does not copy the job item for each occurence?

When the tech needed to enter parts, they ...

Bryan, When you create a series it creates all the activities for each occurrence but it does not copy the job items (They are found in a separate table ActivityJobItems). When you edit an occurrence you should see a button labelled Copy Job Items from series which copies all the Job Items from the Series activity. Most user change the job items ...

Andy, Normally with buttons you would place them all the same cell (clump them together) by default buttons have the Keep this side-by-side other object in the same cell property checked (This can be found under the Formatting section when editing buttons/field/etc...).  When the fields are in the same cell changing the cell span of a field ...

 Thanks.
