Create a Road Call vendor on the fly

When you create a repair order with Road Calls and Trimble Maps you can select a repair location that you don’t have a vendor synced to.

To use this feature, you must have the Allow Creating Vendors On The Fly Application Option set to YES.

  1. In the Vendor pane (on the right side of the Trimble Maps window), select Create RO. The Manage Forms window opens with the repair order form fields.

  2. Follow the steps in Add a repair order with Road Call and Trimble Maps up to the Vendor field.

  3. Enter the vendor name and select kbd[TAB]. The Vendor On The Fly window opens. The program will complete some fields for you based on the data available in Trimble Maps.

  4. Complete the required fields:

    1. Enter a Vendor ID.

    2. From the Vendor Type dropdown list, select the appropriate type.

    3. Enter a Vendor Rating.

  5. Select Save. The Vendor On The Fly window closes. The Manage Forms window enters the data from the new vendor into the repair order.

  6. If needed, complete any additional fields for the RO.

  7. Select Save.
