How to use the parts menu while resolving tickets
Spare parts help you to fix the actual problem on-site.
- Parts are usually picked up by the engineer in some way (Shipping tab),
- afterwards the engineer confirms the receipt of parts in some way (Received tab),
- and finally the engineer returns parts back in some way at the end of the ticket resolving process (Returned tab).
The parts not only move in real-life in this process, they also move virtually with you between those three tabs in the ticket resolving process.
Shipping tab process
The SHIPPING tab will list all the parts that are assigned to the engineer. These are the parts that are added to the tickets assigned to the engineer. They can either be delivered directly to the engineer, picked up from a PUDO, or picked up from a different location. It is completely dependent on the parts’ delivery processes of a given project/country.
You can do mainly two things in the SHIPPING tab:
- Check the Part details by tapping on the part.
