Customer Complaints Group Maintenance

Exploring

This program lets you maintain groups for the customer complaint system.

Things you can do in this program include:

  • Specify a group owner.

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

  • Program List > Quality Management > Customer Complaints > Setup

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.
