Hi,

My institution is being enforced to calculate the costs of the
services that it provides in a currency that we call "Service Unit"
("SU" for short). We have some queues that represent different kinds
of work provided by us, so I have created a custom field called SU,
which is applied to tickets, no matter their queue (it is applied to
many different queues). Depending on the queue, the value of SU
could be calculated based on the value of other custom fields. For
example, let us have three queues Q1, Q2 and Q3. Tickets of Q1 have
SU, CFQ1A and CFQ1B custom fields, whereas tickets of Q2 have SU and
CFQ2A. Tickets of Q3 only have one custom field, which is SU.

- If the queue of a ticket is Q1, then SU = CFQ1A + CFQ1B
- If the queue of a ticket is Q2, then SU = 3 x CFQ2A.
- If the queue of a ticket is Q3, then the value of SU should be
manually introduced.

This simplified problem shows what I want to do. In my real problem,
there are more queues and the formulas for computing SUs are not as
easy as those. I would like to compute the value of SU automatically
when it is possible rather than introducing its value manually. Is
there an relatively easy way to do this? Can scrips help me?


Of course you can (should?) use scrips for this. Action seems easy, just
set a CF value based on other CFs and queue. What is not clear is when
do you need to fill this CF in the ticket life (at resolve time?).

Yes, usually these CF values are established when the ticket is being resoled.


Looks at http://wiki.bestpractical.com/ for scrips examples with
customfields uses.

Thank you for the advice. I'll do.
