TrackAbout Release Notes for December 2023
Field Service Support
We've added Field Service delivery support to TrackAbout and TrackAbout Mobile 7.
NOTE
These optional features require the Delivery with Integrated Order Sync module. Some of the features require integration with Datacor ERP (or another ERP system) using the TrackAbout API for full functionality, as well as configuration and customization by TrackAbout. If you are interested in using these features, please contact TrackAbout Support.
These new features let drivers use TrackAbout Mobile 7's Delivery (with Integrated Order Sync) action to:
-
Fulfill individual field service items as non-tracked assets, and record services performed during deliveries
-
Collect and record payments in the field in cash or by check
-
See field service line items alongside tracked assets, non-tracked assets, and hardgoods
-
See notes about open AR details as provided by your ERP
-
See clickable URLs in Notes
-
See default prices for field service items
-
Register the delivery of one of a field service item each time its lot number is scanned
FIXES
