Lab can do pickups


Practices can request a job pickup by clicking a "Request Pickup" button above the General Notes area on the Main Form.

When this box is checked, the lab is also able to make these requests.


A pickup request is added to the Delivery Runs report for that practice, so that the driver is aware that items for the job (for example; impressions) need to be collected.
