Assign Complaint

Exploring

This program lets you assign a customer complaint to a complaint user.

Things you can do in this program include:

  • Assign a complaint to complaint group.

  • Assign a complaint to a user within the complaint group.
  • Route and/or escalate complaints to a different user.
  • Set up email templates.

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

  • Program List > Quality Management > Customer Complaints > Complaint Processing

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.

By default, the complaint user and administrator receive these emails, but this can be changed.

To configure the recipients:

  1. Access the Assign Complaint program.

  2. Select Email Templates from the menu bar and select the type of email you want to edit.

    • The Assigning option lets you edit the email that is sent when the customer complaint is assigned to the user.

    • The Escalating option lets you edit the email that is sent when the customer complaint is escalated to the user.
