Dear Reader
In the past couple of releases, we have looked at facilitating the planning of service orders and their assignment to employees based on their availability - using the Dispatching board in the Service Orders work center.
This blogpost on the Dispatching Board is a PREVIEW of what we hope to deliver with the 2208 release of SAP Business ByDesign, and through which we would like to get your feedback regarding this functionality - and what you feel is important for you to use this in your planning, or that of your customer's.
