Point-of-Sale

The Service Point-of-Sale (POS) interface allows you to start the ASSYS Interface from a WIP. This topic assumes that you are familiar with the operation of Point-of-Sale and ASRA G05.

Using the ASSYS Interface

Note: The chassis number on the vehicle record must be complete without any spaces or full stops.

To use the ASSYS Interface from the Point of Sale module, you must:

• Create a new WIP
• Load a vehicle onto a WIP.
• To start the ASSYS Interface, you have two possibilities. Both are explained below:
• Select the ASSYST option from the Reports menu. It is also possible to activate the ASSYST Interface by selecting the ASSYST button from the Mercedes-Benz Overall view screen.
• The MB-WIS Assyst screen is opened.

Both options, selecting or de-selecting the Background call parameter, are explained below:

ASSYST Call without background parameter selected

• Selecting the ASSYST button without the Background call parameter ticked will start the WIS / ASRA Interface.
• The information from the MB-WIS Assyst screen is taken over to the ASSYST screen of the WIS / ASRA program.
• From the ASSYST screen it is possible to go to ASRA and select the required items to build a shopping list.
• After you have created a shopping list, click the Save button.

  Select the OK button from the Shoppinglist save screen and DO NOT change the offered name from the parameters!

• When the shoppinglist is saved, it is automatically loaded in the Workshop Information System Interface screen.
• Deselect any items that you do not want to load onto the WIP.

  Tip: All items are selected by default. To deselect or select an item, click the Load column. Ensure that a tick symbol appears against any items that you want to load.

• Click the Load to Wip button. The system loads the selected labour items onto the WIP.
• You can now process the WIP in the normal way.

ASSYST Call wit background parameter selected

When enough information is entered in the MB-WIS Assyst screen, it is possible to perform the background call. The background call will retrieve the labour information for the selected vehicle without having to select them from WIS / ASRA.

• Tick the Background call parameter on the MB-WIS Assyst screen.
• Select the ASSYST button from the MB-WIS Assyst screen.
• The Retrieving ASSYST information screen is displayed.
• When the background call has been succesful, the retrieved lines are automatically loaded onto the WIP.
