Closing a Work Order

Once work on a work order is complete, the final review and billing process begins. Building Admins can use this time to add any materials and/or labor, and confirm the ticket is ready to be closed. If charges have been added, follow the steps for billing verification and invoice submission.

Work orders follow a three-step process in the Review & Billing section of the Work Order module:

  • To Close: Completed work orders appear here and are awaiting closure by your team.

  • Billing Verification: Once closed, work orders move to this page for billing verification.

  • Closed & Verified: Work orders that have been closed and successfully verified appear here.
