The Device Action feature is used to specify different actions on a device. The difference between Device Action and Create Event is that the former automatically creates an event history without the user filling out an Event History screen.

The Device Action toolbar button will be enabled when the Consumption Site has a device attached to it and when the user is currently working on the Devices tab of the Consumption Sites screen. This button will open the Device Actions screen, where you can select any of the six actions. The Device Type and Serial Number field will display the details of the device selected from the Devices tab. If no device has been selected prior clicking the Device Action toolbar button, the system will get the details from the first device on the list.

 

The actions that you can perform using this screen are:

  1. At Customers to be Transferred back to Bulk Plant Location
  2. Pick up and Transfer Back to Bulk Plant Location
  3. Cancel Pickup and Transfer Back to Bulk Plant Location
  4. Transfer to Another Consumption Site
  5. Enter Repair Notes
  6. Sold
