19.1 Service Order Time Entry Mobile Applications Overview
You use the Service Order Time Entry mobile applications to enter time entry for service work orders. You can use filters or history to search for service order time entry. For each service order, you can enter, update, review, and delete time entry information, status of the work order, processed records, shift code, operational sequence, hours, and work date.
This table lists the applications that are available to review and update existing service order time entries, and to enter new service order time entries:
| Type of Application | Additional Information |
|---|---|
| Base EnterpriseOne application | To review and update existing timecards, and to enter new timecards for service orders, use the Work Order Time Entry program (P311221) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. |
| Tablet application | Service Order Time Entry (M3112211)
To download the application to your tablet, search on the following text in the application store: JD Edwards Service Time Entry |
| Smartphone application | Service Order Time Entry (M3112212)
To download the application to your tablet, search on the following text in the application store: JD Edwards Service Time Entry |
19.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Service Order Time Entry
Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.
The functions of the Service Order Time Entry mobile applications are not different from the base EnterpriseOne applications. However, the Service Order Time entry mobile applications, do offer the user a subset of service order timecards information. Not all the service order timecards information available in the base software is available in the mobile applications.
Barcode Scanning (Release 9.1 Update)
The Service Order Time Entry mobile tablet application (M3112211) and the Service Order Time Entry mobile smartphone application (M3112212) are designed to scan data from a barcode and populate the service order number in the Service Order Number field. To scan barcode data, you can use the native camera on your device or a third-party handheld Bluetooth-enabled scanning device. To use this functionality, you must create barcodes that represent a single field in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. This application does not accept barcodes that consist of data for multiple fields.
You can generate barcodes using services such as those offered by Barcodes Inc.
|
Note: Oracle is not affiliated with Barcodes, Inc. and does not require or recommend that you use this service to create your barcodes. |
19.2 Setting Up the Service Order Time Entry Mobile Applications
Before using the Service Order Time Entry mobile applications, verify that the processing options for each application are set correctly. The processing options for both the tablet and the smartphone applications specify the versions of the base EnterpriseOne applications that the mobile applications use.
The system administrator must set the processing options for these mobile applications before the applications are made available to end users.
See Setting Processing Options for the Work Order Time Entry Program (P311221) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Service Management Implementation Guide.
(Release 9.1 Update) You can use one of the following options to scan barcodes of service order number:
-
Disable the Bluetooth option in the settings on your device if you want to use the native device camera to scan the barcodes of service order number.
-
Enable the Bluetooth option if you want to use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the barcodes of service order number.
To scan barcodes using the Bluetooth scanning device, you must configure the scanning device to the mobile device.
19.2.1 Setting Processing Options for the Service Order Time Entry Mobile Tablet Application (M3112211)
You use processing options to specify default processing information for a program.
19.2.2 Setting Processing Options for the Service Order Time Entry Mobile Smartphone Application (M3112212)
You use processing options to specify default processing information for a program.
19.2.3 Setting Up the Bluetooth Option in the Mobile Device to Scan Barcodes (Release 9.1 Update)
The Service Order Time Entry mobile tablet application (M3112211) and the Service Order Time Entry mobile smartphone application (M3112212) include the Service Order Number field in two locations in the application. One is in the filter screen; another is in the Service Order Time Entry screen for tablet and Details screen for smartphone that display when you add a new service order timecard. You use the Service Order Number filter to filter records by service order number. When you enter a new service order timecard using the Service Order Time Entry tablet and smartphone applications, you must enter the service order number in the Service Order Number field.
You can populate the Service Order Number field (in the filter screen as well as in the add new service order timecard screen) using the following options:
-
Use the keyboard on your mobile device to manually enter the data.
-
Use the camera application on your mobile device to scan the data. To use this option, you must disable the Bluetooth option in your device settings.
-
Use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the data. To use this option, you must:
-
Enable the Bluetooth option in your device settings.
-
Configure the third-party scanning device to connect to your mobile device.
Note:
When you enable the Bluetooth option on your device, the system may disable the device's keyboard. -
