Case #Description
SCHED-1225

When creating a service call with a call type of MC (maintenance contract), a message now displays when the equipment selected is not covered by a contract. The message "Equipment ID <ID> is not covered by Contract <Contract Number>." has an OK and Cancel button. Selecting OK leaves the selection of the current field (equipment ID or contract number). Selecting Cancel returns the user to the Service Call window with the current field cleared (Equipment ID, Contract, or Call Type).

The message displays in the following scenarios:

  • The call type is MC, the contract is selected and then the equipment is selected.
  • The call type is MC, equipment is selected and then the contract is selected.
  • The contract and equipment are selected and then the call type is changed to MC.
SCHED-1299

Users can now add, edit, and/or remove field purchase orders in Schedule. A purchase order that is entered in MobileTech or Schedule must be reviewed, committed, and processed in Service Management and Microsoft Dynamics GP Purchasing before costs that are associated with the purchase order can be processed in the system. See Working with Purchase Orders.

To allow users in MobileTech or Schedule to quickly work and provide information to customers in the field, purchase orders for service invoices and field invoices do not include taxes unless the invoices have been received in the Purchasing module of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

We've added new Role Permissions for purchase orders so that you can limit your Schedule users to view, edit, and/or delete. (Administration > User Roles) See Working with Roles.
