<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>
<p><b>What are the two service documents?</b><br><a href="#/service/service-completion-note">Service Completion Note</a> (deliver to customer) and <a href="#/service/service-receipt-note">Service Receipt Note</a> (receive from supplier).</p>
<p><b>Do service notes post to accounts?</b><br>No. SCN confirms delivery; SRN confirms receipt. Invoices post revenue/cost.</p>
<p><b>How to bill after service delivery?</b><br>Approve SCN → <b>Create Invoice</b> for sale invoice. Approve SRN → purchase invoice.</p>
<p><b>Service items vs inventory?</b><br><a href="#/service/service-items">Service Items</a> are non-stock — separate item type from inventory SKUs.</p>
<p><b>Where configure shipment on SCN?</b><br><a href="#/service/service-settings">Service Settings</a> — Show Shipment Details.</p>
