Book a recall or warranty job

Overview

If you previously booked a job with a customer but the original issue persists—or if a new problem comes up—you can book a recall job to resolve the problem. Or, if you sold a piece of equipment to a customer and it’s still under warranty but something goes wrong, you can book a warranty job to fix the equipment.

Both recall and warranty jobs are No Charge, Non-Convertible jobs, which mean that customers won’t be charged for the job and that the assigned technician isn’t expected to sell an estimate on the job.

Things to know

• Like other No Charge, Non-Convertible jobs, recall and warranty jobs do not affect technician conversion rates.

• If the invoice subtotal for a recall or warranty job is greater than or equal to the sold threshold, the job is considered to be converted. For more, see Mark jobs as no charge or non-opportunity by default.

• If you’ve set recall, warranty, and lead guides, you can book recall and warranty jobs from the Call Booking screen. If you haven’t, you can book a recall or warranty job from an existing job.

• Once created, recall and warranty jobs are automatically linked to the original job.

• If equipment has been added to the job location and Attach Equipment to Job has been set up to a job preference, you can attach equipment when booking a job. For more, see Set up ability to attach equipment to a job. 

• When you enable the Customer PO # option, you can add the customer’s purchase order number during the job booking process.
