Work order and completion act

A work order says what we do, a completion act says what was done. They share sections: equipment, operations with labour input, cost of work, materials and work periods.

Sections

Section What is in it
Basic details Number and date, customer, equipment owner, the customer's responsible person
Equipment / object of work What we repair: make, model, numbers, hours
Information from the customer What the customer came with, what they reported about the fault
Operations The cause or defect plus operations with labour input in hours
Cost of work Work lines: quantity × price; the cost is calculated automatically
Materials Parts and materials — from the catalogue or new
Work periods When work started and finished
Photos Photos before, during and after the work
Note Anything that did not fit the sections above
Signatures Who signs on both sides
Work order: sections and document readiness

Customer and equipment owner

The customer and the equipment owner can differ — for example, equipment on lease or rent. If they are the same organisation, press Copy from the customer.

The responsible person is picked from this customer's list of responsible people; choose the customer first. A new responsible person can be added right here — Add to the list of responsible people, including from phone contacts. With an email, the document can be sent to them for approval in the portal.

Operations

A new operation is entered as a cause / defect with several operations under it — each with its own name and labour hours. The Add button adds the next operation.

Cost of work

A new work order already has four lines: Travel time, Work performed, Vehicle mileage and Other costs. Enter quantity and price in each — hours, kilometres or pieces — and the cost is calculated automatically. Delete a line you do not need, add a missing one with Add.

Cost of work: travel time, work performed, mileage
Cost of work: travel time, work performed, mileage

Materials

Choose from catalogue fills in the name, article number, unit and price from the Parts and materials directory. The price and quantity can be changed; the line cost is calculated automatically.

Completion act

When the work is finished, start the act from the work order: Create based on: Completion act on the check screen — the customer, the equipment and the responsible person carry over.

Blank number

The work order number is issued by the server: WO-2026-000042, the completion act has WCA-…. If you have a paper blank with your own series, enter its number in the basic details — a manually entered number wins over the server one and is what gets printed.

Request → work order

If the customer accepted your answer to a request, the work order can be started straight from the request: Company → Requests from customers → the request → Start a work order. The address, the date and the description from the request carry over.
