Enter an Inventory Transaction Before Completing an Appointment

Use the Inventory tab to enter billable inventory costs for an appointment. If you inadvertently enter an inventory item, you can delete it before it is synced.

  • You can add multiple service inventory items with the same exact item number provided the description entered is unique or if you have equipment assigned to one of the inventory items. You can add multiple job inventory items but they need to have different job cost codes.
  • MobileTech inventory transactions do not support Microsoft Dynamics GP Inventory Lots.

  2. Enter information in these fields, as needed.
