Field Service Management (FSM) & Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO)

We are trying to use the aging factoryin our version of PSO but between us and our implementation team, we are unsure if it is performing the way it should.we believe that if an SLA is missed, it should become more valuable from a points perspective.Could someone please outline exactly what is supposed to do and how it is supposed to work?Thanks in advance.  

All of our prices are in CAD since we are Canadian company. If we have to bill a customer who’s bill to is listed as USD, then the pricing rules will not take effect due to the pricing rules listing only CAD. If we put the converted rate as USD, that will quickly go out of date with how quickly rates change.My question is: Does FSM have a way to convert it based on current exchange rate? or must it be set by whichever price is in the pricing rule?

We are having some users experience an issue where FSM is syncing photos from other users to their phone.One case had a user receive over 300 photos. There are no connections to either of these technicians from a person record or task (which is where the attachments are attached to)this has happened to 3 users, that we know of. Has this type of error been reported before?

Item Style Knowledge Article Hi, Looking through the above knowledge articles and came across this one. This is something we have been looking at, and I thought I would create this topic to see if this is possible. Is it possible to get Item Styles into a list view on a custom screen? I wanted to do something simple like make a Request Priority 1 stand out. We can do this and it displays ok on the request screen.   However when we look at the same request on a custom list view the Priority value appears with no styling.   The custom screen is based of the primary table Table with a child relationship to Task, then an item path to a view of the Request table. We have tried to apply the Item Style ID against the field in the properties, but that doesn’t appear to work either.   Cheers Ady  

Is there any embedded business rule, that calculates the Line Item price & adjustment price in quote? If yes what is it? What could be the possible regular expression for validating a currency field along with initial character as “€”. Required help.

I’ve been trying to manually trigger the <perform_send_notification> perform method via XML but the data record doesn’t attach itself to the message.  Here is the XML I’m running: <perform_send_notification>   <parameters>     <dataRow>       <request>          <request_id>1234567</request_id>       <request>     </dataRow>     <distr_list_id>PART_ORDERS</distr_list_id>     <message_name>ICN</message_name>   </parameters> </perform_send_notification>   I run this in the XML Poster and the email is sent, but it’s missing the Request information that I’m trying to pass to it.  I’ve also tried substituting a hierarchy_select statement within the dataRow parameter, but that also didn’t work correctly. Can anyone provide some guidance on the proper syntax to fill into the dataRow parameter in order to connect the data to the message?

I was wondering if someone could give me some information on how a inbound integration should be formated to handle attachments. I would like to send a Image file from another system and attach it to the task.    Thanks,   Graeme

Hi all, I am trying to connect to one of our customers API to notify them of a new claim for one of their customers. I believe I can connect fine but the result I am getting is the "Request body does not match schema".
