<h4>Allocating Stock for material added in TechService on Android</h4>
 
−
If you are creating a warehouse in SME for your technician's truck, you can assign that warehouse as your technician's default warehouse. That way, when your tech adds stock from TechService on Android, SME will allocate stock from your technician's default warehouse, rather than the item's default warehouse.
 
−
<br>To set a default warehouse for your technician:
 
−
<br>1. Go to '''Setup''' module > '''Users'''
 
−
<br>2. Click '''Search''' > '''Search Active Users''' and select the technician.
 
−
<br>3. Click the '''Technician Settings''' tab. Locate the '''Warehouse''' field and select the warehouse you use for your technician's truck. (image below)

<h3>Documents</h3>

−
In the Documents section you can view any documents added to the order in SME (the document must not be linked, but stored in the database to be accessible on TechService for Android)

−
<br>You can also take a picture and upload the picture to the order in TechService. The picture will be saved in SME immediately and found on the '''Stored Documents''' tab on the order.
