Overview

Overview

Checks newly created rescheduled call items and sends an alert to the tech of item availability in other warehouses. Will show all warehouses where the quantity on hand >0. Alert does not look at the tech's warehouse assigned to the call. It strictly looks at warehouses that are not associated to the tech on the call. It assumes a best practice that the tech wouldn't have rescheduled the call if he/she already had the part in stock. Also, if the tech did have it in stock, but it was for a different call, then the part should be allocated to that call, making it not available in his stock. It looks at real-time on-hand quantities.

 

Run Schedule: Every 10 minutes
