Work orders

A work order comes in. The job is already filled in

Property managers and builders send work orders as PDFs, photos and emails. Drop one on the New job sheet, or give them a private address, and WhizInvoice reads it and fills in the job for you to check.

Check it, then make the job

The New job sheet fills in from the file and says what it found. Nothing is saved until you make the job.

The New job sheet in WhizInvoice filled in from a work order, with the customer found and price list items ticked

What gets filled in

  • Customer, phone, email and what the job is
  • The address and suburb
  • The Customer order number
  • Notes: description, access notes, the site contact, who sent it, the due date and the approval limit
  • Every listed item, matched to your price list

Matched to what you already have

Matching is plain rules on your own records, not a guess.

  • The right customer

    By email, phone or name, so one branch of an agency is not mistaken for another.

  • The right site

    An earlier job at the same street is used, written your way.

  • Your prices, always

    Items are priced from your own price list. Prices on a builder’s order never reach the job, and the AI is never asked for a price.

  • Sent twice? You will know

    If a live job already has that order number, you get a warning before you make another.

Work orders by email

  1. Get an address

    Press Get an address on the New job sheet and you have a private address just for work orders.

  2. Give it to whoever sends them

    Agents and builders email it directly, or you forward what lands in your inbox.

  3. It waits for you

    The owner and office get a bell line and a work orders to check strip on the Jobs page. Spam and duplicates are left out.

  4. Check it

    Check it opens the sheet filled in, with Open the file beside it. Or press Put it away.

The small print comes across too

The order number and the notes are ready for your team.

Customer order number and notes filled in from a work order

The order number follows the job

The Customer order number stays on the job, in search and in the data download. It carries onto the job’s draft quote and invoice as PO or work order, and prints on every design and PDF, so the invoice gets paid against the right order. The file stays with the job too.

Questions

Good to know

Which plans can read work orders?

Starter and up, with drafts turned on in Settings. Each read uses one AI action. Emails to a Free business are not read.

Will it use the prices on the work order?

No. Listed items are matched to your own price list and use your prices. Prices on the order are never carried across.

What if it reads something wrong?

You see everything on the sheet before anything is saved. Change what you need, then make the job.

Does the order number show on the invoice?

Yes. It prints on every design as PO or work order, even with the Job details block turned off.

Can it read a photo of a work order?

Yes, a photo or a scan. If it cannot read much of it, you still see what it found, and you fill in the rest.
