Accounts Payable (6)
The is usually caused by requesting a partial payment for the voucher. The partial payment will create a check request which will be on the next cash requirements report.
1. Display the voucher. Look at the payments made on this voucher. What is the date of the payment. If after the date of the aging report, it has not been paid yet according to the aging report.
2. This can also be caused by a null in the discount. Display the voucher. Change the discount to zero even though it looks like a zero.
The last step of the cash requirements report is to not pay a negative check.
If the credits being used are more than the vouchers selected to be paid, this would result in a negative check.
The cash requirements report will not select any vouchers for the vendor in this scenario.

Service (7)
This is correct.
When a new machine is created in dispatch, the system will default to using the customer tax code. However, the tax code can be changed for this machine master.
If a customer tax code is changed and all the machines are to be changed also, you must display each machine and check the tax code.
If the machine is also in contract billing, you must change the tax code there as well.
Each machine can have a different tax code from each other and from the customer tax code. The same machine can have one tax code for service calls and another tax code for contract billing purposes. Each meter that is invoiced for contract billing can even have a different tax code.
Always set the tax code on the service tab as well as the contract tab on the display machine screen.
The query library contains a query to update the tax code for all machines for a customer to the tax code which is on the customer record.
The system uses the pm months and/or clicks from the models serviced table. This can be overridden at the machine level by setting the pm months and/or clicks on the machine master.
When a service call is completed, and the PM service type is used, the system will update the date and reading of the pm call in the service master. You can also display the master and set the date and/or reading of the last pm service call.
Go to Service/Contract Billing, Service Calls, Display/Dispatch PM. Click the Search for PM Due button at the top of the screen. The system will then calculate the date of the next PM. If that date is during the current or next month, an entry will be added to the list for that machine.
The program will not do this is the contract type ends in TM (time and materials).
The contract type is not set up properly.
Display the machine master to find the contract type.
Go to Service/Contract Billing, Other, Contract Types. Double click on the contract type.
Look at the coverage information which is located on the right hand side of the screen.
Verify that the category of the inventory item or labor is covered or not covered for this contract type.
Service Manager (3)
In the service manager console, reports, create survey list.
This will create a list for service calls between two dates. An email, fax, or letter can then be sent from the list.
To send an email, create an email template in the sales prospecting system. Any Word document can be printed or faxed.
An alternative is to send a survey directly upon call completion. Set this up by going to Service/Contracts, Other, Options. Select the Email Options tab. Create or edit your call completed template.
This is usually caused by a bad meter reading.
Print a detail service history report for the tech in the date range being analyzed. Look for a negative CBC. Display the job and correct the CBC. You may also need to correct the meter readings and/or CBC for the next job for this machine in the service history.
1. Set the excessive clicks reading in the models serviced table. This will alert the operator when the current click is more than the excessive from the previous click.
2. Set the alerts in the service manager console. This will pop up for the service manage when there is an excessive number of calls (user defined)
3. Print the excessive calls report in the service manager console
