What’s new?
Scheduling multiple technicians on a single appointment
You can now schedule more than one technician on a single appointment via the add/edit appointment screen
A single technician can also be scheduled multiple times on a single appointment
Supersession notification
Whenever a part record has been added to a CO / VO / VR that has been superseded, a notification will be displayed for that line item indicating the part number it has been superseded to
It will still be up to the user to action this notification (if required)
This is an example how it appears on a Customer Order > Parts & Accessories section when a part has been added that has been superseded
New order Fulfillment document
New Order Fulfillment document is available from Customer Order which will not only include the items on the invoice but also the items from previous invoices for the same CO as well as items which have yet to be fulfilled
This will also allow you to type in Tracking Numbers (if needed) during the checkout process
For further information, please review our article - Order Fulfillment Document
Vendor Receiving (VR) Performance Improvements / Changes
By default the Users focus will be placed in the Packing Slip# field as soon as the VR is generated
We have changed the default behaviour of VR so that it no longer attaches all unreceived VO’s and VO items to the VR when the VR is generated
VOs now by default are not be automatically selected. The User will now need to select only those VO’s they want to receive against
Users also now have the ability to search for the VO which is handy when there is a very long list of unreceived VOs
Fixed issues with the Expected date not being properly populated in the VO listing
The sort order of the VOs has been changed to a) first list selected VO’s and then list any others by expected date with currently due listed first followed by overdue VO’s followed by future due VO’s
The User can now receive against the unreceived VO’s when they have not selected any of the unreceived VOs. This ensures that users who want to receive solely by part number can still receive them against unreceived VOs
