What Prints on Work Orders
Work orders are intended to be a list of work for the technician. Printed work orders include all parts, labor, and service checklist items included in the ticket.
Work orders print in the non-job-based view, which means:
- All parts are listed in the Parts section.
- If a part is in local inventory and has a bin location entered, that bin location appears on the printed work order.
- All labor is listed in the Labor section.
All Service Checklist items are printed across the bottom of the work order so that the technician can perform the inspections and list the results, including any recommendations.
If the technician has to add any parts or labor during service, he or she can write them on the work order. The service writer can then add those items to the ticket in R.O. Writer.
