Close Outstanding Work Orders

Use the Close Outstanding Work Orders screen to close work orders that were originally left open in case more invoices needed to be generated.

Here you can change the status of work orders to Completed. Work orders with current activity do not appear on this screen.

When this screen is first accessed, specify work order selection criteria in the Build List of Work Orders to Close window.

  1. Specify whether to include Site or Job work orders. When Job work orders is selected, fields for invoice dates and cost history dates will be hidden. Note that job work orders cannot be reopened once closed.
  2. Enter the work order number, site ID or job number, work order type, work order zone, customer code and any user-defined fields you want to look up on this screen, or press Enter to include ALL.
  3. Select whether to include work orders with no billings to date, purchase order details available for billing, pre-time card entries available for billing, and cost history available for billing. This field will not apply to Job work orders.
  4. Enter the first and last work order invoice dates to include, or press Enter to start with the earliest date and end with the current Work Order processing date. This field will not apply to Job work orders.
  5. Enter the first and last cost history dates to include, or press Enter to start with the earliest date and end with the current Work Order processing date. This field will not apply to Job work orders.
  6. Specify the completed date for work orders. The current Work Order processing date will default in this field.
  7. Click Continue.
  8. All work orders that meet your selection criteria will display. Select any work orders that should remain open and click the Remove button. Note that this button will not remove work orders from the software, but will only remove them from the list of work orders to be closed at this time.
  9. Click Update to close all remaining work orders. During the update each selected work order will be set to 'Complete' and the date will be stored in the work order header.
    Note: Work orders with current activity will not appear on this list. Work orders with no billings to-date and ones with purchase order detail, pre-time card detail, or cost history currently available for billing are not shown.
