What can we help with?

Viewing a customer’s Work Order history is a valuable way for you to quickly determine, or change, the status of their projects and see the production timeline. This article will show you how to access and understand a customer’s Work Order history so you can easily track progress. 

 

Navigating to Your Work Order History

On the Order page, use the Filter Search field to search for the customer you want so you can see the list of their work orders in the table. Click the List Icon on the Invoice / Work Order line item to open the details. 

You will see the Work Order and Component Status History at the bottom of the Work Order Details window. This will display the time and date of each production update. See more of the details below: 

1. Work Order Table – This table displays the items in the selected Work Order.
2. Set Status – The drop-list contains the statuses you have. At a minimum, the LifeSaver Software default statuses are OnOrder, InProgress, and Assembled will be available in this list. The default Delivered status will not be available if the order isn't fully paid off. If you've created custom statues, they will also display in this drop-list.
3. Call Status - This drop-list helps you keep track of the communication status with the customer. Select the appropriate status here.
4. Notes - Enter in any necessary notes on communication with the customer.
5. Enter Bin # - Enter in the Bin Number where your Work Order item is kept.
6. Print / OK - Click the Print button to print the Invoice for the selected work order. Click the OK button to save your changes. Once clicked, it will take you back to the Order page. 
7. Work Order Status History – This table displays any time the status has changed for this specific work order.
8. Component Status History – This table displays any time the item or material in this work order has changed statuses.
