As of version 22.02, Dispatch form Extended Menu contains a “Check Dispatch Close” option. This process will run a series of checks and prevent putting a call in POST status unless the Call can be closed based on the dispatch close logic. This works similarly to Check Project Close–it will present a Modal listing any close errors on a Dispatch, but the close errors will present as error messages, instead of a grid.
Note: There will be no zoom function on the error handling form, but it will indicate which record is preventing close.
Checks on the Check Dispatch Close:
- Check for linked GL Journal Entry (See Check Project Close logic)
- Check for unpaid expenses
- Check for open Quote/Orders
- Check for RMATestQ items that have not yet been processed
- Check for RMA items that have not yet been processed
- Check for invoices that are not posted
- Check for PO’s that have been received but not vouchered
- Check for PO’s that have line item that have not yet been received
- Check for vouchers that have not been posted
- Check for Orders’s that have line item(s) that have been picked
- Check for Orders’s that have line item(s) in DATAENTRY status
- Check for linked Unposted time bills
Note: User must have HELPDESK permission to access this menu option.
In addition, General Codes for Call Status that have the value for “Closing Entry” set to Y, will not allow a call to move to that status if the closing logic fails. This may prevent a call from programmatically moving to a status if a final invoice is created but not yet posted. Users may need to adjust their workflow to take advantage of this feature.
