Create a Replacement Parts Inventory Transaction
Depending on the MobileTech setup, when completing a service appointment you can create inventory transactions for replacement parts that are used for equipment assigned to the service call. Replacement parts are set up in Signature. The quantity displayed in the Replacement Parts tab indicates the number of parts needed, not how many items are available.
- Your setup may instead allow you to view and/or create inventory transactions for task materials. See Create a Task Materials Inventory Transaction. (Setup allows either task materials, replacement parts, or neither.)
- MobileTech inventory transactions do not support Microsoft Dynamics GP Inventory Lots.
To create a replacement parts inventory transaction:
- Select Appointments and then select a service appointment.
Select Complete, and then select the Parts tab.
In the Replacement Parts list, the available replacement parts display for equipment that is assigned to the service call. Replacement parts are grouped by equipment and display the item number, description, quantity needed for replacement, and the unit of measure.
Select the replacement part item and then select Add.
