Bug fixes

VGM

  • Bug: Temp Parts tab order inconsistent
    Fix: Change the tab indexes so that hitting the tab key cycles through controls incrementally.
  • Bug: Vehicle Registration missing from planner appointments
    Fix: Added vehicle details to Bookings and vehicle registration to Jobsheets in the Planner.
  • Bug: Cannot send sms through Jobsheets in the Planner
    Fix: The customer mobile number was not being loaded causing the option to be greyed out. This has been corrected so sms can now be sent.
