Configuration/Permission Updates

   Setup

Now an asset can be made available for 24 hours by selecting the 24 Hours check box on the Setup > Asset > Fields > Availability > Add Picklist Value dialog box.

After FASTER Web is upgraded to a new version, if the availability time set in the earlier version has a difference of 1439 minutes between the Start Time and End Time, by default, the 24 Hours check box will be selected in the Edit Picklist Value dialog box.

The Availability lists on all the Asset identification pages display the 24 Hours Available column.

If you select the availability as 24 Hours and the 24 Hours Available column is marked as Yes, both the Start Time and End Time columns display 12:00 AM.

  • This setting only adjusts billing when you edit or delete a billed transaction on a work order or direct charge to an asset.

  • The automatic adjustments which are parts of the inventory receipt updates are included in its asset billing.
