There are a number of ways in which the system can be set up to handle the creation of return label information. It may in its simplest form be set to process only parts supplied from the main parts supplier. However, it is possible to cater for any franchises defined and for purchases from other suppliers apart from the main one. The parameters enable surcharge return tracking to cater for most, if not all, business needs.
Note: A consultant would normally carry out the setting up of the parameters at the time when the on-site training takes place.
Where applicable, the form displays one in a series of parameter records that can be stepped through by clicking the Next and Previous buttons.
