Service PackageThe service package provides you with the list of things that customers call about when requestingservice. Later you can extend this to include skill requirements, estimated durations and priorities. Forright now you just need a reasonable list to pick from.Navigate to Settings Model Your Business Service Packages and click in the Set Categories &Services link.There are two parts that are important for the service package. The categories and the services.Categories & ServicesThink of the categories as generic buckets of the services you provide. For example, you might have a‘Problem’ category and an ‘Installation’ category. Under each category you will need to add the type ofservice provided. For example, under the Problem category you might have a service you offer called‘Change Filter’ or under the Installation category a service offered called ‘A/C Installation.’ You can changethis later, so it does not have to be perfect now.Start small with two or three categories and five or six services per category. Do not add more than ninecategories or nine services per category.Intuit Field Service Management QuickStart Setup Guide8

Basic Financial ConfigurationsThese basic configurations will help ensure that your first synchronization between Field ServiceManagement and QuickBooks goes smoothly.Basic Invoice SettingsNavigate to Settings Financial Basic Invoice Settings.You have two important things to do on this page. First, if you offer discounts on invoices you will want toset this to yes. Otherwise there will be no place on the invoice to place the discount.Secondly, you’ll want to indicate whether you charge sales tax or not. If you do, indicate yes, but don’tworry about the sales tax items at this time. All your sales tax items and groups will come fromQuickBooks when the first synchronization with FSM is run. Mapping will be completed when you set upand install the QuickBooks integration client.Intuit Field Service Management QuickStart Setup Guide11

Posting InvoicesThe default setting is to post invoices on sites, which corresponds to customer jobs in QuickBooks. If youcurrently create invoices against jobs in QuickBooks you don’t need to do anything here.If you prefer, to post invoices against customers, even when they are done at a site (customer job) thenyou should change this setting. Navigate to Settings Financial Posting Invoices and update the setting toOn Customers.If you sometimes post to one and sometimes to another, simply pick the most common case here. Youwill be able to change where the invoice is posted in QuickBooks manually after running the sync. Youmay also adjust this setting later if you change your mind.QuickBooks IntegrationThis is the important step where you will enable integration. If integrating with QB desktop Pro, Premier,or Enterprise you will need to install a piece of software and set it up on your machine. The CorrigoQuickBooks Integration Setup Guide is a separate document available for your reference. Pleaseaccess it online here: http://quickbooks.corrigo.com/getting-started/ It is a good idea to go save it onyour computer for reference during the initial sync between QB and IFSM.There are two parts to the set-up. First you will configure Field Service Management to integrate toQuickBooks desktop software, then you will install, configure, and run the sync.Note: The desktop integration client is typically installed on only one machine in your office. If you desireto be able to perform the FSM Sync from more than one PC in the office, or if you want to move the FSMSync to a different computer, or if you wish change the “file path” referenced by the FSM Sync, pleasecontact FSM Technical Support prior to making these changes.The instructions for installing the integration client are included in the Corrigo QuickBooks IntegrationSetup Guide.Intuit Field Service Management QuickStart Setup Guide12

Simply select where you’d like the alerts to go at the top of the page.There are two primary considerations in which alerts should be set up. Remember you can alwayschange this later as you become familiar with the system.1. If work orders are created and assigned as service requests are coming in, then all they need is theAssigned/Re-assigned alert. The alerts page should look like this:2. If you schedule work orders out into the future for your techs, it is usually a little simpler for them if youonly have them receive the Appointment Reminder/Changes alert. Otherwise they could get an alerttoday for a work order that is a couple of days out. For this scenario the alerts page should look like this:The last thing you will need to do is assign your people to Service Teams or Dispatch Centers.Service Teams: Every person that you will assign work orders to must be a member of a Service team.Your system should have one service team that came preconfigured.
