We routinely send gear blanks to a vendor to be hobbed.  The vendor charges a set up fee plus a per part fee for the job.  We do in-house processes on the gear blanks prior to sending them outside so there is already a work order in place.  Service orders require the work order and sequence numbers so what is the best way of entering the set up fee on the service order so that the cost gets put into the cost of the part?  Thanks in advance.

Ditto here,
 
On a service purchase order, you can enter any valid item master item and as long as you reference a valid work order and valid "outside process" sequence # for that work order, upon receipt of that service purchase order, the charge will show up in that work order.....they do not have to be part of the work order item's bill of material.
