The items mentioned below will be available on or after November 30, 2023. To see these new features, please perform a hard refresh in your browser and update your mobile app to the latest version (9.4.10). Here's how to Get the Latest Version of ServiceCore.
Inventory Item Selection on Service Jobs
ServiceCore has introduced a new feature to enhance the management of inventory on Service jobs that allows you to now select specific products and units and apply them to different service schedules. This feature streamlines operations and offers more flexibility and accuracy in handling service jobs and inventory tracking.
The main objective of this feature is to improve the accuracy of service jobs by enabling the selection of specific units for servicing. This becomes particularly useful in situations where not all units at a site require service. The Service Job and Inventory Relation is a significant step toward introducing Capacity Based Routing, aligning with strategic objectives identified in our recent customer feedback surveys.
Key Features
-
Pick and Choose Service Units: This feature allows users to select which units on a site need service. This selection can be made based on the unit count by job type and product type.
-
Bulk Unit Flexibility: By default, all units on site (both bulk and itemized/serialized) will be selected when creating a service job. However, now users can choose a specific quantity of bulk products, or all, some, or none of the itemized/serialized products on site.
-
Creating a Service Job: When creating a service job, specific units can be selected only if they are already on site. Specific serials can be chosen from a search bar, and only serials for units on site will populate.
-
Viewing Jobs and Rentals: Once a service job is created, you can see the specific serial numbers associated with that job. When looking at the rental, you can view the serial numbers for the service jobs, applicable for both recurring and one-time jobs.
-
Mobile App Integration: The mobile app allows for a Schedule View where you can select a job, expand inventory, and view serial numbers. If specific units aren’t known at the time of scheduling, they’ll appear as “Unknown Serial Number”.
-
Make sure all mobile apps are up-to-date and using version 9.4.10 or higher in order to take advantage of this new feature!

Schedule Day View and List View: The app will display unit counts with symbols indicating Pickup, Delivery, or Service. The planned route time (Service Time + Drive Time) will be included in a future release.
