Mobile: Parts

The parts list provides a list of all the parts scheduled to be delivered and installed on this work order.

At the end of this page we’ll also look at:

• Parts Details
• Delivering Parts
  

Item List

Each item has the following details.

• Manufacturer & Part Number – this is pretty self-explanatory. Note: The manufacturer name can be hidden using the Filters, described below.
• Assigned – each item and the corresponding task can be assigned to a particular technician to complete. By default, parts are assigned to Anyone.
• Accessory – if the item is an accessory to another part, the parent part will be listed. Additionally, accessories will be indented and printed in plain text, while parent or primary items will be displayed in bold text.
• Sales Desc – when the salesperson adds a note for the technicians on the proposal or sale order, that note can be displayed here. Note: The sales description can be hidden using the Filters, described below.
• Part Status – at a glance, a technician can see the status of the parts
  • Sld – this number represents the number of items sold
  • Ord – a number in this column indicates that the part is still on a sales order
  • Stgd – a number indicates that the part has either been staged or allocated from inventory or received on a purchase order.
  • Dlvrd – this field is filled when the product is marked delivered to the customer
    Note: parts could be in all three stages. For example, if the customer bought 200 feet of wire, but only 100 feet of wire was available in the warehouse, Sld would show 200, Ord would show 100, and Stgd would show 100.
• Select – the checkbox is used to mark a part for delivery

Filter the List

Filters will add or remove information from the part list as well as show only specific parts.

• Task Description – by default, sales descriptions are not displayed on the parts list but can be viewed in the Part Details. Turn this option on to display the description.
• Task manufacturer – normally the parts list shows part numbers. If you find it helpful to have the manufacturers’ names listed, you can turn this option on.
• Created From & Created To – entering dates in these fields will limit the parts list to only parts added to the sales order during the date range entered
• Advanced Filters – tap here to open more filters to choose from. Because every part has an associated task on work orders, we use the task details to filter the parts list.
  • Task Name – the name of the task is often the name of the part, but it could be something else
  • Task Location – this is the room or location where the part is going to be installed
  • Task Status – the task status changes based on work being completed. Use this filter to find only parts with a specific status.
  • Task Priority – if your company prioritizes parts and tasks, you can sort using this field

  • Task Head End – if a part is assigned to a head end, this filter may be helpful
  • Task Change Order – you can view items added to the job on a change order by selecting the specific change order
    
    Filters

Stock Details

Stock Details – provides a list of where the inventory is staged. The inventory for this part could be staged in multiple locations, and if it is, you will see multiple locations listed.

Tap on a specific Inventory Location to reveal multiple options.

• Transfer – use this button to move inventory from one location to another. For example, you may want to take the inventory out of the warehouse and place it in a particular van. Or maybe a technician is passing off the part to another tech so that you can transfer from one van to another.

1. Transfer To – enter the location to where the part is being moved
2. Transfert Qty – enter the number of parts being transferred. You do not have to transfer all of the items, just like we stated in our wire example above.
3. Save Transfer – click the button to commit the move from one location to another.

• Deliver – use this button to do a partial delivery. Normally you can check the item on the part list and deliver it completely. But if you sold multiple parts and only one is being delivered, use this option to do a partial delivery.
  

1. Transfer Qty – enter the number of items being delivered.
2. Set as Delivered – click the button to do the partial delivery.
   

• Remove – this button takes the part off the work order and transfers it back into store inventory.

1. Transfer To – tell iPoint where the item is being moved to
2. Transfer Qty – how many of the items are being removed from the work order?
3. Save Removal – commits the removal as defined above.
   Note: This option is only available for parts added to the work order directly. If someone added the part through a sales order, you must complete the removal there.

Delivering Parts

Delivering the parts on a work order can be done in four ways. Let’s look at each option.

Check to Deliver

1. Go through the parts list and place a checkmark in the box of every part to be delivered
2. Tap the parts box in the QuickLinks bar to open the Delivery Options window
   • Note here you can choose to Select All or De-Select All These buttons check or uncheck all the items on the part list. This is not recommended! For accuracy purposes, it is better to check every part to ensure you aren’t missing anything.
3. Tap the Deliver Selected button
   • You’ll notice that you can use this same process to transfer parts from one location to another. Use the dropdown to Select Transfer Location to move the parts and then tap the Transfer Selected button.

Scan to Deliver

The best way to deliver products is to use the QR labels printed by the warehouse team and affixed to the appropriate boxes of products. QR codes on equipment are unique to the job, location, and phase of each part. So scanning is the best way to ensure that parts are delivered to the intended customer and not accidentally grabbed from the wrong job pile.

1. Tap the parts box in the QuickLinks bar to open the Delivery Options window
2. Tap QR Scan To Deliver Selected
3. Point the camera of your iPhone or iPad toward the QR code of the item to deliver. Once the QR registers, the item will be delivered
4. Continue scanning QR codes until all the delivered product is complete.
5. If the scanned QR code does not match the product listed for this work order, a warning prompt will let you know, and you can’t deliver that product.
   • Again, warehouse staff can use QR Codes to transfer products as well. Use the dropdown to Select Transfer Location where the parts will be moved to and then tap the QR Scan To Transfer Selected button to activate your camera. Keep scanning until all product is transferred.

Note: At this time, QR Scanning is only available on iOS devices and is not compatible with Android, Windows, or other mobile platforms.

Partial Delivery

Delivering Selected and QR Scan to Deliver will deliver the entire line. But if you only want to deliver some of the quantity sold, use the process described above in Part Details.

Task delivery

By design, every part has an associated task. This is done so that multiple people can complete the work on the job site. So, for example, a delivery driver can mark the product as delivered when it is dropped off at the customer’s house. But a technician marks the task complete when the part is actually installed.

However, many companies have delivery and task completion done simultaneously. To activate this option, go to Settings > Module Settings > Work Orders and place a check in the Warn On Task Complete if Items Not Delivered checkbox.

With this setting enabled, completing a work order task will open a prompt where the part can be marked as delivered or left for another user to deliver the part.

Note: This option only works if the product is allocated.
