Bart,<br><br>Do all your suppliers have RT? If not, then who in your organization deals with the suppliers? Perhaps creating a "Child/DependsOn" ticket that is owned by the person dealing with that particular supplier would work.<br>

Hi,<br><br>I need some help understanding the flow of tickets in RT, specifically how to work with suppliers.<br><br>In our test setup one questing came forth about sending a ticket to a supplier and how to go about it.<br>
Lets say we have a customer sending us an incident ticket. The incident ends up being the problem of our supplier so we need to have the ticket depend on a suppliers actions.<br><br>Our current setup is pretty much default with two queue's for internal departments:<br>
<ul><li>Queues:</li><ul><li>Servicedesk: All new e-mails go to this queue.<br></li><li>Tech support: Thirdline support for the servicedesk.<br></li></ul><li>CF's:</li><ul><li>A few under users for easy selection of organizations.</li>
<li>And a few for the tickets for selecting to what categorie a ticket belongs to.</li><li>In addition I've installed the SLA plugin with two test SLA's.<br></li></ul></ul>In our old system we would do these things by assigning a ticket to a supplier, does that mean that I would need to create a queue for each supplier that we work with for this to work?<br>
<br>I'm guessing "yes", hoping "no", for some suppliers having a queue is ok but for allot of other ones it's not ok. We work for the government, some direct suppliers are easy to write down as a queue but sometimes a townhall needs to fix something which would mean that we have to add roughly 450 queue's (one for each townhall).<br>
<br>Anyway, if someone could help me understand how to work with suppliers then I'd be extremely gratefull.<br><br><br clear="all">Best regards,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Bart<br><br>
