eMO Window Payment Net Updation Problem

Please click the link below to download Solution for  eMO window payment updation after Megh 7.0 upgrading.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/jadreh

Copy of email received from Directorate regarding logging of complaints to M/s HP

1. Whether the vendor is providing O/S support after installation. The preloaded O/S though good it seems have at some locations crashed during work of installation/ work progress of deptl software. Whether HP is comprehensively supporting the O/S may be informed. The same is not true with M/s Wipro and M/s HCL Ltd as they are supporting the O/S also.


HP is Providing O/S support remotely as well as onsite case to case basis.

2. What is the time lag for getting spare parts, if required upon to be supplied in case of damage. It took more than 3 days to get one HDD replaced.

All required spares which need to be replaced are provided within three working days, Physical damage cases will be replaced on chargeable basis.

3. What extent we are supposed to open up the Cabin of CPU or other hardwares as the HP customer support over phone, is extensively requiring us to do so each time the log is made for a complaint.

End user is not suppose to open the cabin of CPU incase the technical person supporting insist on the same pls ask the technical person to take me in con-call on 09818278064.



3 a. Is it required to actually open the cabins each time, since the system is in warranty, the Phone-in customer support usually asks to open up, refix the RAM, refix the Cables joining the Mother Board to the HDD, CD-RW and even other fixtures. They are not accepting to log the complaint even without these exercises. This is totally unhealthy as it may otherwise lead to some other faults/complaints, while opening the cabins.



End user is not suppose to open the cabin of CPU incase the technical person supporting insist on the same pls ask the technical person to take me in con-call on 09818278064.or mail me the refrence case id at Sharavan.singhal@hp.com




Pls feel free to contact me for any further query.

Attaching call logging process and escalation matrix.

4.Additional Information in Diaster recovery option: In Disaster recovery additional information like Booking Date is given and eMOs will be displayed according to Booking Date. This will facilitate to identify eMOs accurately.
5. More Reports for Monitoring: Reports such as eMOs Pending for / by eMO supervisor and eMOs marked as are provided.

Upon checking this report, the eMOs can be verified for that particular date in verification option so that those eMOs will be updated as paid in the server. These reports are available both for Supervisor and Operator

Dealing with Station articles in project arrow offices.

   In Postman application, the local articles can be fetched using “Bag received” option in Operator login OR “Fetch from counter” option in Tools menu of Supervisor login. The users are expected to use only one of these options for fetching data of local article. When they use both the options, such articles will be shown as “Mail not sent out for delivery out of fresh receipt” in DET. The option “fetch from counter” has to be used only on the day of invoicing to postman, but not on the date of booking. The same thing will also work for speed net.



If both “Fetch from counter” option and “Bag details” option for receipt of the local articles then DET is adding both the articles and hence number of receipt will be more and issued to postman will come less. However in order to eliminate this condition PTC has forwarded one script Postman22042010.exl


Running this  script will eliminate the condition that only one to the two options i.e. either the fetch from counter option or bag details option should be used.


This may please be brought to the notice of all Project Arrow Offices specifically and to all computerized Post Offices in general. All concerned may be advised to book the station / local articles as per procedure and follow the above mentioned procedure for processing the same.
