Hi All,

When WO is executed through MWO and technician uses travel portion by using start travel and Waiting at location options, clocking will be generated for travel category. Usually in implementation projects how we calculate the travel resource group cost per hour ?

Following components are arrived from my thought process -

  1. Average salary of resources per skill per hour
  2. Average transportation cost per hour. But here this is no compulsion of which vehicle type will be used per instant.
  3. Depreciation cost per hour of the vehicle. But here there is no compulsion on vehicle type used per instant.

Though this might not be application consultant responsibility to suggest customer instead it depends on past experience of customer and advice through management consultant. But this question arises frequently in project implementations. I know PSO has travel models where cost/mile calculation functionality is available but in case of ESM and EAM solution any advice on this topic will help.

Thanks for your response in advance.
