Purchase Module: Handling POs that we need to short pay
Folks, I'm using the Purchasing Module but I keep coming across this issue. (I hope I'm just missing something.) We have a PO built around a quote, we get the approvals, we place the order, receive the assets. The issue starts when we receive the invoice. Frequently, some vendors will send us an invoice with discounts, price breaks, etc., and so our PO no longer matches the invoice. From an approvals standpoint, this is still fine, because we have approved, for example, $100.00 but we are being

[SOLVED] Service Request Approver has no access
I have a few forms that require approval from people throughout our departments. For these select people I will go to their User profile in ServiceDesk and make sure "Service Request Approver" is checked. In the past this was enough to allow the users to go to ServiceDesk and approve what was needed. We are currently on 11.0 Build 11007. When this problem started we were on 10.5 Build 10513. The only way for me to fix it now is to go to the users profile and allow them to see ALL request. But I did
ServiceDesk Development Environment
Wondering if anyone is using a SDP dev environment. If so, is there a configuration file(s) that I can copy over from my production environment as I do not want to recreated my rules, groups etc. We learned a valuable lesson this week when the service pack update brought us down for a day and a half. All of which would have been avoided if we would have tested in Dev. Thanks for your help!

How do you deal with tickets being reopened with "thank you" replies?
Hi guys, I'm having an issue where I will email a staff member from the ticket in ManageEngine advising them that the issue has been resolved and then close the ticket, some time thereafter they reply and simply say "thanks for that", or some variation of that, which reopens the ticket. I'd prefer to not have to turn off the facility that allows staff to reply to reopen tickets if possible. Anyone else finding this? Anyone have any suggestions as to how to deal with this? Thanks!
