Field Service

Hello,I have been noticing an issue with the Appointments Billing action. When I run Appointment Billing it does not copy the Appointment Log Notes over to the resulting Invoice report. At times it does copy the notes but then this is not consistent, resulting to manual intervention by having to copy each line’s note to the invoice.Is this a Bug? Anyone else experienced this issue ?Kindly assist in giving insight on this. Best regards,John Kihiu

We are a construction and field service company.  We are currently running our own compliance software that we had custom built for us many years ago.  We have basically outgrown it, and the cost and time to maintain it has become burdensome.  We are looking for suggestions on something that will tie into acumatica’s field service and construction projects for doing hazard assessment, circle checks, inspections, etc. so we don’t have to maintain 2 systems like we are now (prevent duplicate entries and human error).  Being able to do it through mobile is a must.I have gone through the marketplace and there is nothing specific to this.  The only integrations that were close were some forms software, but they didn’t look like they talked nice to field service out of the box.I appreciate your help.Andrew

What is the process if items were purchased on a PO and that PO was linked to the wrong Job or Service Order?  So essentially I have something on J123 and I need to move it to J456.  Right now all we have been able to figure out to do is create a fake return and credit memo to clear the wrongly assigned PO, manually close out that PO, and then recreate a new PO through the correct Job or Service Order. But this is creating messy accounting records. Is there a better way?

Is it possible to set up a popup reminder in the mobile app that appears before a technician closes an appointment?

Hi! For the calendar board in field services, is there a way to easily block off certain time slots for field service employees? The example is I have an employee that needs to block off 2 hours in the calendar board because they have a personal appointment.

Is anyone familiar with the know issue below and the workaround.?I am having a hard time following this write up, please help me understand   AC-292726: If the Enable Time & Expenses Integration check box was selected on the Service Management Preferences (FS100100) form, and a user created logs for an appointment that were linked to a submitted or released time card or time activity before the check box was cleared, they could delete the log records manually or automatically on the Appointments (FS300200) form when they reopened the appointment.As a result, the time entry kept the reference to the deleted log and the data was inconsistent. Also, if a user clicked Correct on the Employee Time Cards (EP305000) form for a time card that contained the deleted log, the following error message was displayed: An error occurred during processing of the field Log Ref. Nbr.

Hi! Is there a way to do dropshipments for service orders? We’re looking for functionality similar to sales orders where a line can be marked for PO and dropshipped.

I’ve seen a few topics related to this and no clean solution presented for this. I’ve solutioned this completely different based on the unique needs of each client. Surely there’s a better way…  Does anybody know what the cleanest solution is to track warranty costs within Field Service?  Scenario: Run a normal service order (standard service order type) - we don’t know what would be covered under warranty yet as the repair needs to be executed first  Tech completes appointment - identifies that the part is not covered under warranty Labor/Travel > bill to the customer as normal  Parts (Inventory Items) - need to be expensed to COGS - Warranty instead of COGS - Materials Billed at $0 (marked Free Item)  The inventory issue is going to hit COGS - Materials based on the Inventory Item defaults… I see no way in Field Service or other Acumatica settings to change the COGS posting for inventory items.

I have a customer who would like to delete their service contracts in Acumatica. Is there a way to do this?

Hi team, I want a customization where, when a user creates a claim, the attachment in the Details tab becomes mandatory. I tried many events like persist, persisted, rowSelected, but I’m getting an error. I’m unable to attach an attachment because the error still appears. Is there any solution? using PX.Data;using PX.Objects.EP;using System.Linq;namespace PX.Objects.EP{    public class ExpenseClaimEntry_Extension : PXGraphExtension<ExpenseClaimEntry>    {        #region Event Handlers        /// <summary>        /// Validates that expense claim detail has an attachment when InventoryID is blank        /// </summary>        protected virtual void _(Events.RowPersisting<EPExpenseClaimDetails> e)        {            EPExpenseClaimDetails detail = e.Row;            if (detail is null) return;

Hi Team, We need to add one line item to the appointment. After adding the item, it can be included in the appointment; however, when we click on save, an error occurs that states, "The following error occurred when specifying a value in Warehouse.I have replicated it in the sandbox, and it is able to add line items with the same status as the appointment without any errors occurring. Note: It is causing an issue in the live environment, but it works in the Sandbox tenant at the same time(Instance & build).Please advise.

i want to display Tag Number, so we can use it for our physical count. 

Is there a way to run a report for this on all service orders. Would like to be able to get a full list instead of having to narrow down to individuals. 

When an invoice is generated from FS501300 (Service Contract Billing) an invoice is generated using items that are listed in FSContractPeriodDet (Services Per Period tab on the Service Contracts Screen)After the invoice is generated, there is no way to tie the invoice line (ARTran) back to a specific service/item which is IDed through the ContractPeriodDetID field.It appears to me that the ARTran table should have a ContractPeriodDetID field so that we can link back to the correct service contract line. There are no noteID or line nbr fields in FSContractPeriodDet table. The only unique identifier seems to be ContractPeriodDetID.Am I missing something or is this an oversight in the table design?We need to link back to the equipment number defined in the FSContractPeriodDet table, but there appears to be no way to do so. 

We have multiple staff members assigned to an appointment and they start at different times.In the mobile app, the “primary” driver starts the appointment. We tried for others to start their appointments at different times with the “start” button as well, but it did not work for us.We did log their time manually on the log tab in the mobile app as a workaround. Is it possible for all assigned staff member to start and complete the appointment automatically when they select “start” and “complete” or is it only possible to capture individual time manually through the log tab on the app?Is there a configuration or flag that I am not seeing?Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Team, In Acumatica 25R2, I successfully added the Terms field to the "Approve Bills for Payment" screen using the new modern UI. However, when I try to add the same Terms field in the "Prepare Payments" screen, the field does not appear.Please check the screenshot below. I have tried multiple solutions, but none of them are working.   

Hi Team,I have added the 'Activity (CR306010 ) Screen' in the Acumatica mobile customization,but my issue is that in some fields, I can't add values because they are disabled. Additionally, I am unable to create a new activity in those fields.  only 'complete' is showing in the status field. I have added the code below,please check it. I have also attached a screenshot and code. Kindly let me know if you have a solution for this.Update: CR306010 Activity: codeupdate screen CR306010 {       update container "Activities" {    formActionsToExpand = 2    containerActionsToExpand = 1       Add containerAction "Insert"    { icon = "system://Plus"    behavior = Create }       add recordAction "Insert" {        behavior = Create    }            }         }  Update: MENU Code:update sitemap { add folder "Activity" {

Hey folks,Got a question:Let’s say a customer is selling a stock item in 2-3 different contexts:     a. Over-the-counter item sold at the store (has it’s own account for COGS and Sales).     b. Same item sold in the context of a service call to a customer  (has it’s own account for COGS and Sales).         c.  Item provided as a warranty item or according to a contract (has it’s own account for COGS and Sales).As far as revenue and cogs go, how does the system know where to allocate those two transactions for the same part in inventory in different scenarios?  Can you have just a single inventory item that can be used in different contexts without having to manually change the GL entries each time?

We are experiencing a tax rounding issue with Service Orders. Does anyone have a workaround for this? I know on the Sales Orders you can Enable the Tax Calc setting but what is everyone doing for service orders? Thank you in advance. 

We would like to be able to add parts to a service order in the app via the bar code scanner.

We were super impressed at Summit with the new Modern UI Calendar board.  Now that we’re finally on 25R1, I’ve enabled Modern UI for the Calendar Board screen in our Sandbox.  And I’m having a deer in the headlights moment.  I’m trying to remember what I can do with it.I’m not sure if I can dig up the recording of the sessions from Summit, but I do know it’s getting used in the community.  Some of the things that our users have asked about are:Can the axes be flipped, putting the time along the Y axis? Can we control what the axes are?  Our team would rather look at staff specific (and I believe I can add filter tabs for different staff), and have the board display days across the top. Can we control color coding of the calendar appointments? Can we control what appears in the calendar box, as well as the pop up when you click the appointment?I know some of these were a “Yes” during the training, but I can’t remember for sur

I am unable to alter the default GL account for line items in a QUOT order type. If i then copy and paste this over to a new order type obviously it stays the same account number. I need the account number to match to the mapped GL for the inventory ID. Does anyone know how to fix this or have any experience with this. I want it to default to Sales account from inventory item not from the customer info.   

Hi Team,We have issue with purchasing to appointments.We used to be able to add the vendor to the appointment, but now the field FSAppointmentDet.POVendorID is locked for editing. This was needed so that on the Create Purchase Orders process screen (PO505000) we could filter by vendor and the appointments would all come up to select and generate a PO from the lines. This is xxxx who service many sites and we need one PO with many lines. Without the vendor in the appointment we have lost the ability to filter the process screen to create the PO. We noticed the Service Contract Schedule now has a vendor, which would work, except it doesn’t flow to the appointments so what is the point? Please see the below screenshots   

I have seen a few older articles on this but we are on Acumatica 2024 R2 and I’m not sure what is causing the issue. We are getting a warning, ‘taxes not up to date’ in Field Services (Service Orders and Appointments).  We are using Avalara as the external tax provider.  If we try to close the order or appointment, we get a actual error “Failed to get taxes from external tax provider.”I’m able to make the issue go away by unchecking and re-checking the override address box but this does not seem logical as I’m not really changing anything.  The customer address was validated and not changed. This seems like a bug but wanted to put it out here to see if anyone with Acumatica version 2024 and Avalara have experienced the same issue.
