1. Ability to edit customer data on Job Sheets for ERP Transmission

• Navigation: Task Console > Click on a REQJ/REQPJ > Click on ‘Edit Job Sheet’ under the Job Sheet tab
• Note: Job sheet data can be updated only when the Job is in the ‘Pending’ phase.

 

 

 

• After the user reviews and submits the updated information, it would be reflected under the job sheet tab and the updated data will be transmitted to the ERP on Approval.
• After a decision is made (Approve/Decline), the user will only be able to view the edited information, along with a name/date/time stamp of the user who updated the information.

Credit users have the ability to enable/disable the Personal Guarantee Revoke feature.
