Service Entry Line Items Reference

Service Entry Line Items specify each unit of work that the Service Entry targets. Line items must reference a Service Task, and support fields such as description, labor cost, parts cost, and subtotal cost. For more information about service entries and line items in general, please reference our help center docs.

Type

You must set the line item type to ServiceEntryServiceTaskLineItem

Service Task

As mentioned above, each line item must reference a Service Task. You can set the service task through the service_task_id attribute in each line item.

Linking Issues

You can link Issues to a Work Order Line Item by passing an array of issue_ids to a line item.

Parts, Labor Costs, and Subtotals

To add costs directly to a line item, simply pass a value to the parts_cost, labor_cost and/or subtotal fields. In order to set subtotal directly on a line item, parts_cost and labor_cost must be empty or 0. If not, subtotal will be calculated as parts + labor.

Example

curl https://secure.fleetio.com/api/v2/service_entries/123/service_entry_line_items \
-H 'Authorization: Token token="API_KEY"' \
-H "Account-Token: ACCOUNT_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST -d '{
"type": "ServiceEntryServiceTaskLineItem",
"service_task_id": 12345,
"description": "Replacing brake pads",
"issue_ids[]": 1,
"issue_ids[]": 2,
"labor_cost": 30,
"parts_cost": 55.99
}'

In this example, we already have an existing service entry, whose id is 123 (as you can see in the URL). We then create a single line item with a service_task_id of 12345, with a labor_cost of 30 and a parts_cost of 55.99. We are also able to link 2 issues to this line item through the issue_ids array.
