- Is the vehicle fixed on site, or does it have to be transported somewhere?
You can now enter the information required:
Select Assistance:
Select Ready on site if the vehicle is fixed on site, or Transport if you have to take it with you:
Ready on site - remember to write down the work performed and how long it took (you can create an order and enter this now if you wish)
Transport - Select + Add transport and enter the destination either by typing the address or by selecting it on the map
Note: always remember to add information and useful details in the service comment field. This helps whoever does the invoicing, and saves them having to ask you later.
Excess and order B 💲
You can take payment of the excess, for example by Vipps, as follows:
a) Select Payment
b) Select ? New order - Order A is created
c) Select Order A (or, if there are several orders - the most recently created one)
Enter the customer name (it suggests the Requester, or add a contact)
Select + Excess
d) Enter the amount of the excess
e) Select Receive excess
f) Select Add new order (Order B is created - this is, for example, the insurance company)
g) Select Save
h) Select Payment - App - Vipps
i) Add any comment (feel free to take a photo of the customer confirmation)
j) Confirm payment
k) You can now view and share the receipt with the customer (Messages/AirDrop/email etc.)
😊 You have now taken payment for the excess, created 2 orders and finished one of them.
TIP:
If you have it the other way round, so that order A goes to the insurer and order B is the excess - the excess belongs on Order B and is deducted on order A.
If this is an invoice between two companies, you can also use VAT transfer from A to B here
If you use App Requested (for those who do not have Vipps for Business, but send the Vipps claim later.)
DO NOT tap Payment Requested or Confirm payment out in the field. Accounts will do this later.
PS: Remember that you now also have a cash settlement under: My pages - My cash settlement
