Hi all, We are already using OTRS to handle our clients requests. We occasionnaly have to contact our providers support services and they open tickets for us using their ticket tracking systems. What we need is to be able to handle tickets by more than one technician of our company and also we need to have traceability and statistics. AFAIK OTRS is only intented to handle client requests, would it be possible to use it in the other sense to handle request we send to our providers? otherwise what solution would you advise? Many thanks _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/soc...

I think this is quite simple. All you have to do is create ticket in OTRS and forward it to the outside company. They will create there own ticket but everytime they replay the response will go to a proper ticket as a fallowup (as long as the subject has the Ticket#...) That way few techicians can track the replays from outside. Hope it helps Adam Mohamed-Amine Kadimi pisze:

Hi Mohamed-Amine,
Yes, there are configuration options for this. But you'd have to enable
them, they are not on by default.
Just take a look at Sysconfig: Ticket > Core::Postmaster.
Here you'll find the options PostmasterFollowUpSearchInReferences ,
SearchInBody and a few others as well. If you'd enable those, and OTRS does
not find a viable ticket number in the subject, it will look and see if they
can be found in other parts of the message.
HTH,
