Support for spare parts in ServiceScheduling 11 has been improved.

To support these new features:

• The Set Job Status to Cleared SOAP API has been deprecated and removed from ServiceScheduling.
• The Change Work Item Status SOAP API has been updated and is now the API that must be used to update the system with details of spare parts used for a job, instead of the deprecated Set Job Status to Cleared SOAP API.

In version 11 we have introduced a new feature of automatically adjusting the next day spares value by calculating what is left from today spares. To enable this feature SP083 of recalculate_next_day_stocks needs to be set to YES.

It is strongly advised that if you are using Next day spares calculation feature then you set operative day boundary to midnight (this is because the creation of shift override can move the operative day boundary to the earlier day, which can result in incorrect stock level usage). You can set this by setting following SP083 parameters

• fru_day_rounding_val=1
• fru_tol_shift_after_bdry=0
• fru_tol_shift_before_bdry=0

In the event that one or more major releases are being skipped as part of the upgrade to ServiceScheduling 11.0 - that is, whenever the upgrade is from ServiceScheduling 9.4.0 or any prior version - then all appropriate upgrade advisory notices for the versions being skipped must be reviewed as part of the upgrade process.
