Automated FieldServio Parts Backorder Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens FieldServio, finds open work orders that are waiting on a part, checks each part's purchase order status in QuickBooks, and logs a worklist to Google Sheets flagging which jobs are blocked and for how long, so your scheduler can reschedule or chase the vendor before the job stalls.
How do I know which generator service jobs are at risk from a backordered part before the technician shows up?
WebRun checks FieldServio every morning for work orders stuck waiting on parts, confirms each part's purchase order status in QuickBooks, and logs a worklist to Google Sheets flagging any job whose expected part date falls after its scheduled service date. Your scheduler sees at-risk jobs a day or two early instead of finding out when the technician shows up without the part.
- At-risk jobs get flagged a day or two before the scheduled visit, not at the truck
- Schedulers work from one shared worklist instead of checking two systems by hand
- Vendor delays are caught early enough to rebook without a wasted trip

Questions, answered
Does it contact the customer about the delay?
No. WebRun only builds the internal backorder worklist in Google Sheets. Your scheduler decides whether and how to reach out to the customer once they see a job is at risk.
Where does the part status come from?
It reads the purchase order and vendor bill tied to each part directly in QuickBooks, so the status reflects what your vendor has actually confirmed, not a guess.
How do I know which jobs are actually at risk, not just waiting?
The sheet flags any job whose expected part date falls after its scheduled service date, so your scheduler can focus on the ones that need a reschedule call first.
