A work order is a ticket that is dispatched to a service provider to perform repair or maintenance services. Generally, the work order details what the issue is, where the issue is, and when to go to a location, as well as the maximum cost allowed. In SC Mobile you may view, track, note and manage work orders so to stay informed of its progress.
