10 06 Dispatching and Resource Scheduling The service call is the first step in the day-to-day process. Once the service call is created the next step in the process starts with the creation of a service task. For this process, you can use event codes to identify pre-defined work packages, which can forecast default hours, (spare-) parts, checklists and revenue codes (for service items) to it. While creating the service task, the applicable terms and conditions will be automatically applied to make sure that work that is covered by a contract is marked as non-invoiceable. Assigning the service task to the right person can be done by using the graphical scheduling overview. In this screen, you will have a direct view of your resource availability, open tasks including their severity and insight into whether the required spare parts are available. With a simple drag and drop action from the planner, tasks can be scheduled to the available resource. While planning, will help you determine whether the resource has the skills, requirements and or certificates as required by the customer. Once all the work is completed, the cost or revenue will be posted against both the service object as the service call, and depending on the terms and conditions, the customer will receive an invoice. 10 / 13
