Create Follow-Up Ticket During Ticket Closing

← Back to Search

HITS allows users to create a Follow-Up Ticket during the ticket closing process. This can be used for courtesy reminders, scheduled service, or future customer contact.

This feature is available whether you choose Close & Print or Close Only.


How It Works

When closing a ticket, check the Create Follow-Up Ticket option.

This opens the Create Follow Up Ticket window:

  • Leave the Ticket # blank (it will auto-assign)
  • Set a Follow Up Date
  • Choose to calculate the date:
    • By Days Old
    • By Date

Once created, the system generates a new follow-up ticket as a Quote with a comment referencing the original invoice.


Important Notes

  • You can set this as a default option during the closing process via the Administration & Utilities View in View/Edit Default Settings > Invoice View/Edit > Create New Follow-Up ticket > YES.
  • Printing is not required — this works with both Close Only and Close & Print
  • The follow-up ticket number is automatically assigned
  • The follow-up date can be set manually or calculated by days
  • A courtesy follow-up comment is automatically added for reference
