Description |
The code in this field identifies the employee. The code is up to six digits long. If fewer than six digits are entered, the code is zero filled. Employees use their employee ID to clock in and out for time reporting in Vision Back Office. The employee ID is also used in the End-of-Day CSR Update process to collect sale and credit information for each line entered by an employee whose Employee Type is set to Customer Service Representative. This information is cumulative based on ALL invoices on the system. The results can then be viewed or printed, in descending date order, using CSR Inquiry/Reports to manually calculate incentives that reward customer service reps. |
