Questions about budgets for field-service teams
- Does a job budget schedule my crew?
- No. A budget compares recorded work with the limit you set. Use it to review scope and effort, while keeping crew dispatch and shift scheduling in tools designed for those tasks.
- Does a budget alert stop the crew’s work automatically?
- No. Review the alert and decide what happens next. Discuss the remaining job and any additional charge with your customer before making a new commitment.
