Ability to reopen Vendor Orders (VO)


We have now provided the Dealership with the ability to reopen Vendor Order (VO), after they have been submitted 


The new action to reopen Vendor Orders (VO) will only be available if the status of the VO is On Order and there are no Vendor Receivings (VR) attached to the VO 



If the status is no longer On Order then the new option of will not even pop up as an option on the screen

Default In Progress Job Status 


Dealerships will now be able to select which job status they want as the default status when a Technician Job Clocks into a Service Job  


If the In Progress status currently exists then it will be selected as default BUT Dealership can change this default by updating the relevant System Setting
