Description of Page
This page's dialog is idiosyncratic. Follow the instructions below to transfer service points from one route to another:
• Use the search button to select the Service Cycle and Service Route that contains the service points to be transferred. Upon return from the search, you are shown all of the service points in the input cycle and route in the Transfer From grid.
• In the Transfer From section at the top of the page, enter the sequence number of the first service point to be transferred in Sequence From. Enter the sequence number of the last service point to be transferred in Sequence To.
• In the Transfer To area that follows, enter the Service Cycle and Service Route into which the service points are to be transferred. Enter the sequence number to be assigned to the first service point when it is transferred to the new route using Start Sequencing From. Enter the value by which to increment the sequence number of successive service points using Increment by.
• Click the save button to re-sequence the service points. The re-sequenced service points are shown on the Transfer To tab.
Note:When there's no room. If the "transfer to" route doesn't have enough space between its sequences to insert the desired service points, navigate to Renumber Service Route Sequences and renumber the route by a value large enough to make space. Then, return to this page and transfer the service points into the route.
When a service point's service cycle is updated using this transaction, and the account's bill cycle is not protected, the system automatically updates the account's bill cycle to be in sync with the service cycle.
