Overview
The Job Code per line relates to a "job", "segment", or "sub-RO" on the RO. It is usually a sequence number—01, 02, 03, 04, ... or 010, 020, 030, 040, ... — allowing applicable DMS integrations to use this code to nest operations with the same Job Codes. Configure up to thirty job codes for estimates.

Job Codes now auto-set Reason for Repair
Service locations can now map Job Codes to specific “Reason for Repair” values. When a mapped Job Code is applied to an operation, the Reason for Repair is automatically set to Warranty or Goodwill – Manufacturer, just as if it were selected manually. This helps keep repair data consistent and reduces manual updates on shared cases.

Administration
We have developed a method to expand the flexibility of the Job Code feature for locations currently using it or interested in using it. Job Code now supports selecting a default code for these fields in all cases. Some locations prefer a default Job Code because it is changed only by exception. Other locations choose not to use a default Job Code, as they add it only by exception.
Enabling the Job Code Feature
| Administrators can access this admin page by clicking the ADMIN button in the top navigation bar. Once on the Administrative Tools page, click Customize Your Database, then Job Codes. | |
| NOTE: the Job Codes feature is disabled by default | |
| Checking the Enable Job Codes box and adding at least one JOB CODE will display a column in the (new) operations table and a row on the edit operation page for Job Codes. | |
| Once a JOB CODE has been entered, the SAVE button will become active. Once clicked, a success notification will display stating "Job Codes have been saved." |
Three Columns
| Job Code - a free text entry field | Set Reason For Repair To - a drop-down with two options:
| Default - radio buttons, this column is disabled by default |
To rearrange codes, simply drag them by the handle to the left of each row. Below the table, you will find a + CREATE JOB CODE button. When clicked, this button will add a new empty row at the bottom of the table. If there are already 30 rows in the table, this button will be disabled. | |
| Clicking CANCEL will discard any changes and redirect to the Customize Your Database page. |
Mapping Reason for Repair to Job Codes
We have developed a method for locations utilizing the Job Code feature to map Job Codes to "Reason for Repair"* categories [WARRANTY] or [GOODWILL-MANUFACTURER]. This will eliminate the need to manually set the "Reason for Repair" when a mapped Job Code is used on an operation.

| When visiting the admin page with previously established values, if any “Reason for Repair” selection is no longer valid (because that Reason for Repair is now disabled), a warning message “Reason is disabled” will be displayed below the select box. The SAVE button will be disabled until the invalid selection is cleared or a new valid selection is made. |
