Has anyone found a way to allow customers to schedule their own service tickets (or request for work) inside of Acumatica? I know they can create CRM cases and those cases can be used to create appointments. My client is specifically looking for a way to allow customers to select a day and a time for a technician to perform work. Those days/times are based upon open availability of technicians.

As an alternative please review the Exchange integration here, which might aid in creating a publicly available calendar that customer’s can review (limit to busy/free) and select an available timeslot.

It might be possible to sync with Exchange to a shared Calendar and subsequently use the office meeting extension to allow the customer to select an available appointment.  This would most likely be handled through a customization.

@Chris Hackett Outside of a customization, no I have not found a solution. It would be neat to allow customers via a support case to schedule their own appointment's based on technician availability.
