In the Location dialog box you can enter the following settings:

  • Name

  • Status indicates whether repair location is active or not. When you select the Not Active status, repair location is not shown in the list of available locations and its repair orders are not processed in the Back Office application. You cannot change the Active status to the Not Active status, if there are not completed repair orders in this location or this location is selected as default repair location for a team or vendor.

  • HOUSE Account is usually used for services that cannot be assigned to a particular employee who works in the given repair location. For example, if such service as Waste Removal Fee must be added to the work order in this location, you can assign it to the HOUSE account.

  • Phase Enforcement defines whether only the next phase is automatically activated when the current phase is completed.

  • Override Ins. Type Settings lets change the Line Approval setting defined on the inspection type level.
