Job Aid: Drive Test Service BOMs


The purpose of this job aid is to outline the process of creating service Bill of Materials (BOMs) and Purchase Orders (POs) for drive testing. This functionality creates BOMs which, once approved, will generate a Purchase Order Request (POR) for the assigned vendor.

  1. From the new screen, click New to add a service line item to the BOM

  1. Click the Group POR Sites tab and blank sheet icon to determine the individual sites subject to the Group POR

  1. Add the Site IDs for all sites subject to the total price and scope and click Save

    1. Select All Sites “Yes” to include every site in the Market or AOI determined for the Group POR

    2. Select All SitesB “No” to manually input each Site ID. The site list will be restricted to the market or AOI selected

  1. Click Submit once the Sites and PO line items have been scoped. The system will push one POR to the Market’s respective business approvers (based on dollar amount). Once approved, a PO will be created for every Site ID listed in the Group POR Sites tab.
