Editing Service Orders

 

To edit a Service Order, you can double-click in the Service Order Explorer grid or you can select the Service Order and click the [Edit] button:

This will open the Service Order for edit. If a Service Order has been completed, you can change the Progress to "Completed":

If the Service Order is not completed, you can choose an appropriate Progress and % Complete if you wish.

 

You can also enter the Actual Hours on the Resources tab if you wish to track this:

When Actual Hours are entered, you can run the Service Orders Cost Summary and Service Orders Labor Costing reports, see Service Order Reports.

 

To add any Labor Items or Products used on the Service call, click either Labor or the Products tabs:

In this example, Labor Items for the Service Call were added, as well as a replacement Product:

Mobile Install Users

 

Click the [Update From] button in the Mobile Install section of the ribbon of the Service Order Explorer:

update_from_mobile_install_button.png

 

This will update the Service Order with information added within the Mobile Install web interface. You will get a confirmation once updated:

You can now edit the Service Order within SI 2015. You will want to, at a minimum, edit the Progress field to mark the Service Order as Completed (if that is the case):

Note: The % Complete field updates from Mobile Install, but the Progress field for a Task in SI 2015 does not update from the Status field in Mobile Install, they are independent settings since the Progress list is customizable in SI 2015.

Site Items

 

If Site Items were added to the Service Order in the Mobile Install interface, click the Site Items tab in the Edit Service Order form:

 

site_items_button.png

 

The Site Items will be displayed:

 

site_items_tab.png

 

Select each Item that you want to edit and click the [Add to Service Order] button:

 

add_to_service_order_button.png

 

This will open the Add Product form. This form may be pre-filtered to Items in your Catalog based on the fields you entered for the Site Items.

You can clear the filter if needed to find any product in your SI 2015 Catalog:
