In circumstances where the obvious outcome is a replacement, enabling "Replace Now" on a remark allows for the quoting of an on-the-spot replacement product with a single press.

What Replace Now does when used in the field

When you use Replace Now in the app, you will be prompted to select a remark associated with replacement and update the details of the asset. This will also add the appropriate replacement product to be billed against the task.

Note: This only updates the existing details on the current asset, which will keep service/maintenance history on the same entry.

Enabling "Requires replacement" on a remark type

1. Click on Control Panel, then click on asset types.

2. Click "View" on the asset type

Replace Now in the app (iOS)

With everything set up, when a technician selects the appropriate remark against the asset, Replace now will be an available option where applicable. When selected you will be able to update the following fields:

  • Before/After photos

  • Replacement product (this will be auto-selected already if configured properly

  • Barcode/bSecure

  • Base date

  • Installation date

If you select the remark itself, for additional control you will get the option to Add Remark Only or Add Remark & Replace. Add remark only will ensure that it will go through the defect quoting process instead of being charged on this task.
