When the Billing Frequency changed, what it was changed from and what it was changed to

The Billing Frequency numbering is set up as follows:

No invoice = -1

For every work order = 0

Monthly = 1

Quarterly = 2

Yearly = 3

One time = 4

Bi-Monthly = 5

The example below shows the Billing Frequency being updated from Yearly to One Time.

Why an appointment reminder was not sent to a customer

If a Work Order has a Start / End time entered, but the Work Order is not completed, an appointment reminder will not be sent for that Work Order if the appointment is reschedule later on. (A Start / End time is usually entered on missed appointments and the tech wants to log the time for accountability reasons.)

Why an appointment reminder was not sent to a customer

The Send Reminders was updated after the date window for sending the reminder. The numbers associated to the reminder type are below.

Reminders_type

0 = As Per Account Settings

-1 = Inactive

1 = Send an email

2 = Send a text

3 = Send a text and email

In the following example, the reminder type was updated from As Per Account Settings to Send a text.

Who and when an appointment was confirmed.

Confirmed = true and confirmed by shows by whom.

Who and when a Work Order was added to the Work Pool.

Specific displaying false means the Work Order was added to the Work Pool.

True means it's on the Calendar.

Late Payment Reminders

On the bottom-left corner of the customer's account page, click Show All Changes to view updates to the Late Payment preference in the customer's account:

Late_Payment_Reminders_type

0 = Inactive

-1 = As Per Account Settings

1 = Send an email

2 = Send a text

3 = Send an email and a text

QuickBooks Online error: The name supplied already exists. : Another customer is already using this name

From Show All Changes in the customer's Billing page: The customer name was updated in Fieldwork but not in QuickBooks. The name in QuickBooks must exactly match what it is in Fieldwork or vise-versa. Check the display name in QuickBooks.

QuickBooks Online Error: transaction #nnnnn TxnID Cannot Be Linked

From Show All Changes in the customer's Location page: Fieldwork and QuickBooks handle customer file names differently. You will get this error if you move a location to another account and try to sync a payment attached to that location. Move the location back and sync the payment.

For more information about resolving QuickBooks errors, see: Settings - QuickBooks Online and Common QuickBooks Errors
