The MB XENTRY Portal Pro Interface - WiP Information Update form displays an overview of the lines received (default Changed lines only) and how the WiP will look like in Point-of-sale upon accepting the changes.
The Mercedes-Benz Supersessions logic is used when updating the parts received from XENTRY Portal to the WiP in Autoline. If applicable, additional Environmental charge lines are added to the WiP in Autoline.
Itemized menus are not treated as a service menu package but as individual parts and labour lines when the XENTRY Portal pro interface is in use. Additionally the Menu pricing parameter Load menu header on itemized packages automatically cleared and unavailable for change to prevent that menu pricing headers are loaded on the WiP.
Service measures are used as repair volumes when service campaigns are on the WIP and are exchanged with XENTRY. Hence the service measure function is automatically activated when repair volumes are used in Point-of-Sale. There are three possible entry points when a service measure are added to the WIP:
Cary out an active campaign: The menu package is loaded to the WiP as normal when an active campaign is selected as Cary out on the One data screen. Via the damage code linked to the service campaign it is determined if this is a valid service measure (third position of the damage code is a 9). For a valid service measures a service measure line loaded on the WiP and the itemized menu package is automatically linked to this service measure line.
Load a service campaign to the WIP: Service measure lines are also added to the WiP when a service campaign is loaded to the WiP from service menu pricing according to the following conditions:
Before adding a new service measure line to the WiP, the damage code linked to the service campaign is checked if the service measure line exists on the WiP. The selected menu package is automatically added to the existing service measure line, in case the linked damage code is equal.
Warning: Loading a service measure package (identified by the 9 on the third position of the damage code) to the WiP as a fixed price package or with a payment type different from the Menu pricing parameter Default WCode campaigns will cause that the package is loaded to the WiP without the selected damage code attached.
Service measures added by XENTRY Portal pro: When a WiP is uploaded to XENTRY Portal pro a check is done for relevant service measures for the selected vehicle. Relevant service measures are automatically added by XENTRY to the job. These relevant service measures are then added to the WiP in Autoline when the job is returned. For the service measures which XENTRY did not provide the corresponding parts and labour lines it is possible to add the service campaign package within Autoline. Autoline will detect the corresponding service measure line based on the linked damage code.
This form is displayed when the Mercedes-Benz XENTRY Portal Pro Interface form is open, or opened the data received (or received earlier and stored in the inbound queue of the StarConnect data server) from XENTRY Portal pro. It displays an overview of the lines received (default Changed lines only) and how the WiP will look like in Point-of-sale upon accepting the changes.
Menu Bar and Toolbar:
| Menu bar | Action | |
|---|---|---|
| File > Accept | Marks the request as processed in the inbound queue while accepting, updating, saving and reloading the WiP in Autoline. Returns you to the WiP concerned on which you can continue working.
Note: The order statuses for parts added in XENTRY Portal are first saved with status: M (Memo). During the automatic loading process the order statuses are determined against the actual availability. Only upon saving the part lines concerned are created in Purchase Control and the (back/stock) order parts status is set in the WiP. Reloading a cancelled WiP the parts added from XENTRY Portal will display the status M (Memo), as cancelling the WiP will not set the backorder status of the parts. | |
| File > Ignore | Marks the request as processed in the inbound queue without altering the WiP. Returns you to an unlocked WiP available for change. | |
| File > Load as Memo | Marks the request as processed in the inbound queue while accepting, updating, saving and reloading the WiP in Autoline. Returns you to an unlocked WiP available for change, the labour and parts statuses for all lines added in XENTRY Portal are forced to M (Memo). Lines existing on the WIP prior to sending the job to XENTRY Portal (most likely with other labour/parts statuses) are not influenced by this option. | |
| File > Exit | Leaves the request unprocessed in the inbound queue, keeps the WiP unchanged and locked. Returns you to the Point-of-Sale form. Tip: This provides a safe exit strategy for a user that accidentally opens a WiP linked to an XENTRY Portal job with data received and does not want to process the changed lines displayed in the MB XENTRY Portal Pro Interface - WiP Information Update form. | |
| View > Line details > Changed lines only | Refreshes the grid, if applicable, to display changed lines from XENTRY Portal. Changed lines only is defaulted when opening the MB XENTRY Portal Pro Interface - WiP Information Update form.
Note: Deleted lines are displayed in this Changed lines only view when the line is deleted in XENTRY Portal. Hence the line is considered as changed and requires an update to the WiP of Autoline. | |
| View > Line details > Full WiP | Refreshes the grid, to display changed lines from XENTRY Portal plus the existing WiP lines of Autoline, excluding the deleted lines. | |
| View > Line details > Include deleted lines | Refreshes the grid, to display changed lines from XENTRY Portal plus the existing WiP lines of Autoline, including the deleted lines. | |
