Work order statuses visually depict the stage a work order is in. You can monitor, review, and take appropriate actions on a work order based on its status. There are three main statuses: Open, In Progress, and Completed. Alongside the main statuses, there may also be Extended Statuses which provides more details about the stage of each work order.

Each work order is color-coded so to give a visual cue of the status:

Work Order Statuses

The below lists the typical work order statuses and extended statuses configured in the system.

• Open: A work order was generated within Provider Automation but was not yet accepted by a provider.
• In Progress: The work order was accepted, and the provider is actively working on the project.
  • In Progress/Dispatch Confirmed: The provider assigned to your open work order has accepted the work order.
  • In Progress/On Site: The provider has arrived at the location.
  • In Progress/Parts On Order: The provider has indicated that additional parts are needed to complete the job.
  • In Progress/Incomplete: The provider has indicated that the job needs further follow-up.
  • In Progress/Unsatisfactory: The provider has completed the job, but a Location User or Facility Manager has deemed the work not acceptable.
  • In Progress/Waiting for Quote: Additional parts or labor is needed, so a provider has submitted a price quote for the additional resources.
  • In Progress/Waiting for Approval: The provider or ServiceChannel administrator has generated a proposal against the work order, but it is not yet approved.
  • In Progress/Proposal Approved: A Facilities Manager approved a proposal for the work order.
• Completed: The provider has completed the work as described in the work order and can generate an invoice.
  • Completed/Confirmed: Equivalent to the Completed status - the provider has completed the work order and can generate an invoice.

  • Completed/Pending Confirmation: The provider has completed the work, but a Location User or Facility Manager must provide satisfactory feedback on services before the work order is deemed Completed/Confirmed.
