In addition, they are responsible for customer contact, order acceptance, work preparation, ordering materials, and checking feedback.<\/p>\n<p>The graphical resource planning in Dispatch shows dispatchers all resources as well as SAP CS orders clearly in a Gantt chart and as a map display. Based on the order type and the respective business transaction, MobileX-Dispatch determines the <strong>\"preferred <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-kzgzulc1rqt6a915ktrhm08pvmkafsp9\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Technician<\/span>\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The slot search function can also be used to identify several suitable colleagues for a job at the same time, if more complex assembly or repair work is involved. In addition, the dispatchers can also set weekly tours for the service technicians. <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-6upv2a1yudemzo51v7dwnbrs3ddo0jop\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">plan<\/span>when commissioning jobs lasting several days or jobs without a return trip to the site are on the agenda. After a short training session, the service technicians have been working with the mobile solution MIP for Field Service since May 2015. They receive the orders on their laptop in the mobile client after being assigned by the dispatcher.<\/p>\n<p>This means they can start their first assignment in the morning directly from home. Even in regions with weak reception - i.e. offline - they can access all job data, such as documents or the service history, and carry out feedback. As soon as the connection is restored, the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-0ucywqv0iszqjm72mdoxjlz6odngqhyj\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Data transmission<\/span> automatically in the background.<\/p>\n<p>After their deployment on site, the service technicians create their service reports at the push of a button. These can be modular and consist of time, travel or other services as well as material consumption. To improve the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-gnxv6gpacu4j8trflznmhzu755zrxqoj\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Quality<\/span> the service technicians select a fault code from a catalog that defines the affected component and the cause.<\/p>\n<p>The start-stop automatic determines the start and end of a job by the respective status change for the time feedback.<\/p>\n<p>The completed service report is signed by the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-0fcnf6djgjztsehzt6x5hse7120x72dg\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Customer<\/span> on the touchscreen. MIP for Field Service automatically transmits the confirmations and service reports to the back office. Before posting in SAP CS, the back office checks the confirmations in the MobileX release monitor and creates a debit memo request to invoice the services.<\/p>\n<h3>Process optimization for the
