Job Status

Booked

This is the default status applied to a job when first added. All jobs begin with this status. If set up within an Item, a name has already been allocated to this job. In the case of a service job, the stock to be serviced would be placed on the relevant person's Booked Job List. In the case of a sales job, the job is ready to be picked once the Supply column has been filled in.

Burn In

Relates only to a service job – the stock object has been serviced and is undergoing tests, the results of which affect the decision to return it back into the workflow. After sufficient testing, the job would normally move to Finish.

Call

The customer needs to be contacted to make/confirm a decision about the job.

Cancel

This will cancel the job.

Checked

This would be regarded as a qualified Booked. It is useful, especially when doing bulk servicing of the same stock objects, to have a quick pass through of all jobs, and group the jobs by the related faults.

Example: A junior technician, who would fix the jobs they are capable of, then change the remainder to Checked.

Finish

The final status of successfully completed jobs, including invoiced jobs.

▪For a service job – The stock object has been repaired and fully tested.

▪For a sales job – The job has been picked and is now completed.

▪For a manufacturing job – The stock has been manufactured.

The word FINISH in a Job List can be one of three colours:

▪Green means the job is finished but still active.

▪Red means the job is finished and has been set to Ready to invoice.

▪Black means the job is finished and has been invoiced.

Info

Further information is required before this job can proceed.

OKed

This would normally follow on from Call or Wait. The customer has given approval to continue, and the job can return to the workflow.

Ordered

The job is effectively on hold, waiting for stock to arrive. A purchase order has been raised.

Out

The job is physically not in the building. Typical reasons would be that the customer has collected the job and will return it shortly, the stock object has been loaned to someone or it has left the workflow for intervention by a third party vendor.

Parts

Proceed

This would normally follow on from Ordered or Info. Stock has been received, and the job can return to the workflow.
