Browse on Complaint Owners

This program lets you browse a list of customer complaint owners.

Exploring

Things you can do in this program include:

  • View complaint owner detail.

  • Filter/print a list of customer complaint owners.

This program is accessed from the Program List of the SYSPRO menu:

  • Program List > Quality Management > Customer Complaints > Browses

This is where a consumer expresses dissatisfaction with a supplier's goods or service, typically as a result of defective products or poor service. While this can be viewed as negative sentiment, it also affords a supplier an opportunity to improve their business processes by re-evaluating their quality and service delivery.

This is typically a SYSPRO administrator who receives and evaluates customer complaints and assigns a severity level in order to calculate the due date of resolving a complaint.

The complaint owner assigns a complaint to a complaint user for resolution. The complaint owner can also resolve and close a complaint, if requested to do so by the complaint user.

This is typically a SYSPRO operator who investigates and is responsible for resolving and closing a complaint.

  • You can't maintain information displayed in this listview if Browse only access is defined against the program, but access to the corresponding maintenance program is not allowed (Operator Groups).

Solving

This message indicates that the program has a listview with check box columns and that the Multiple Row Selection feature is enabled (i.e. you can select multiple rows in the listview by using the Ctrl or Shift key and then click on the check box for any selected row to apply that check to all the highlighted rows).

This facility is not available if any listview column is editable.

Using

The following are possible status codes for a customer complaint:

Status Description
N - New

The complaint has been created.
A - Assigned

The complaint has been allocated to a complaint user.
U - Unassigned

The complaint has been set aside for future allocation to the correct complaint user and/or group.

C - Closed

This status is applied to the complaint when the investigation is complete and the customer is happy with the outcome.
Re-opened

This status is applied to a complaint that was previously closed. This typically happens when the customer is still dissatisfied with the resolution offered. Only complaints in a C - Closed status can be set to Re-opened.

  • You can toggle the display of browse-type programs in the Program List by right-clicking anywhere in that pane and ticking/unticking the Include Category 'Browses' option.
