Feature Controls
You can toggle the availability of certain features in Zoho FSM. This allows you to determine whether a certain feature should be available to the user or not. You can find these feature controls at Setup > Field Service Settings > Other Settings.
Create invoices in mobile app
Use the toggle switch for Allow technicians to raise invoices to determine whether the field technicians will have the option to create invoices for the service appointments assigned to them.
View pricing details in mobile app
Use the toggle switch for Allow Field Agent to see pricing to determine whether the field technicians will be able to see the prices of Services and Parts in the service appointments assigned to them.
If the option Allow technicians to raise invoices is disabled, then Allow Field Agent to see pricing too would be automatically disabled.
Use the toggle switch for Allow Field Agent to see pricing to also determine whether the Work Orders option should be available in the mobile app.
Round off currency values
Use the toggle switch for Allow roundoff for transactions to round the Grand totals in transactions to the nearest whole number. This will be applicable to currency values.
Estimate approval through email
When you enable Estimate - Email Approval, then the estimate email sent to the customer will have the options to accept or reject it.

- Navigate to Setup > General > Company Details > Business Hours tab and click the New Business Hours button or the Edit [
