Requirements And Steps To Set Up Invoice Printing At Destinations

To plan routes where field workers can select services, items, or quantities of stock keeping units (SKUs) for invoicing, you’ll need:

  1. Items & Services: Synced items or service entries from a Route4Me ERP Integration.
  2. Customers: Synced Customer profiles associated with entries in your ERP items and services master.
  3. Price List: Synced price values for specific items and services associated with specific Customers.
  4. Locations: Customer Locations associated with the same Customers as the relevant enterprise resources.

Once your enterprise resource planning database is set up and all relevant resources and entities are synced with your Route4Me account, you can plan routes for dynamic invoice printing at destinations. Keep reading to learn more.
