Returns Tracker (fka Case Tracker)

Authors list
Overview

The Returns Tracker (fka Case Tracker) module offers a solution for monitoring different customer-related issues in order to verify that each issue is resolved in a timely, appropriate fashion. Cases can be linked to customers and specific sales documents, and they can be managed from one central location.

Data entered in the Case Tracker module is only stored in SalesPad's SQL tables; it does not affect Microsoft Dynamics GP SQL tables. Case Tracker is available via a separate dll. For information on acquiring the Case Tracker dll, please contact your territory manager.

Usage

After installing the dll, the Case Tracker tab is available along the top of the screen. From this tab, you can access the Case Tracker modules.
