Individual Work Orders

Image Modified

You can search for either a singular work order or a batch of work orders using one of the following criteria.

• Tracking #: Provider Automation automatically assigns a unique number for each generated work order. This field uses the Exact Search criteria.

• Work Order #: Clients may elect to use a custom Work Order number, in line with their business practices. This field uses the Starting with search criteria.

• Purchase Order #: Clients may elect to use a custom Purchase Order number, in line with business practices. This field uses the Starting with search criteria.

• Closing Authorization #: This number is generated when a technician checks out of a work order for the last time using the telephone IVR System. This field uses the Exact Search

•  criteria.

• Service ID: A static number on maintenance work orders used to check in and check out of work orders through either the telephone IVR System or ServiceChannel Provider mobile app. This field uses the Exact Search criteria.

1. In the upper-left corner of the Home pageHomepage, select the desired search criterion in the drop-down list.

   The Tracking # option is selected by default.

2. Enter the appropriate number(s) in the text area.

Search Criteria

You can find work orders by using either an Exact Search term or a Starting with search term.

• Exact Search: Certain search criteria, such as Tracking numbers or Location IDs, are searchable only by their full, precise number. You cannot use a partial term to search for records using the Exact Search.

  • For example, when searching for Tracking # 12345678, you can only use “12345678” to search. Partial terms, such as “123” or “12345,” will not pull up the desired records.

• Starting with search: The beginning of the term used to search must match the beginning of the desired record.

  • For example, when searching for all work orders with Purchase Order numbers between PO-180 through PO-189, using a search term beginning with “PO-18” will pull up all work orders with PO numbers between PO-180 through PO-189, as well as all other work orders fitting that criterion (say, “PO-1887”).

    You cannot search using wildcards such as asterisks (*) (for example, “123*”).
