Beta Release 4.5.5.11

Scheduled Release - 24 May 2021

New Features

Service Desk - Outsourced Model

The Service Desk Logs have been enhanced to support an outsourced model that can allocate Logs to external people.

A. Set the 'Use Alternate Log Allocated To' control parameter to Yes to enable the alternate Work Group Person picker rather than the standard Employee picker.

B. The Work Group Person picker uses the 'Service Log Allocation Work Groups' control parameter as the comma separated list of valid Work Groups.

C. The combined list of specified work group members are listed as options for allocation. The work groups may include external people i.e. non-employees.

D. Since the allocation is external the progress and work on the log is external to Workbench. When the work is invoiced this is AP invoiced in the usual manner for the respective supplier.

E. Log No will list the logs allocated to people from the supplier, and the respective log may be specified if applicable.

F. Specifying the AP Invoice Log No will display the AP invoice lines on the Log’s ‘Purchases’ tab that support navigating to the AP invoice.

This functionality may be used in conjunction with direct Log invoicing refer 4.5.3.
