An order is the operational center of your business. Every vehicle being serviced, every product consumed, every dollar collected — it all lives in the order. When the job closes, inventory deducts and the revenue flows into your reports automatically. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Order statuses

Orders move through four statuses as work progresses. Payment status is tracked separately — a job can be Done and still unpaid.
Inventory deduction and COGS recording happen only when an order is marked Done. Make sure all materials are attached before closing the order — you can’t retroactively update COGS after the fact.

Fields on the order form

Vehicles & Services

Each order can contain multiple vehicles. For each vehicle you select the services being performed and any materials used.

Adding a vehicle

Select from the customer’s existing vehicles using the vehicle dropdown. Use + New Vehicle to add a vehicle without leaving the order form — the vehicle saves to the customer’s profile automatically.

Adding services

Type to search your service catalog, then set the price and quantity. Body type pricing adjusts the price automatically based on the vehicle’s body type. You can also:
  • + Add Service — search your catalog
  • + Add Custom Service — one-off line item with a custom name and price, not from the catalog

Adding materials

Click + Add Material under any service to attach inventory items used on that vehicle. Each material records:
  • Which inventory item was used
  • Quantity consumed
  • The unit cost at the time of use (captured for COGS accuracy)
Materials are what connect orders to your inventory levels and profit calculations.

Multiple vehicles

Click + Add Vehicle to Order to add a second or third vehicle to the same order. Each vehicle has its own services, materials, and body type pricing. One order, one invoice, one payment.

Working an order from start to finish

1

Create the order

Go to Orders → New Order or convert directly from an accepted quote. Select the customer, set the scheduled date and time, and assign it to the appropriate staff member.
2

Add vehicles, services, and materials

Select the vehicle, add services, and attach materials if you track inventory. Confirm that body type surcharges are applying correctly — the line item price should reflect the vehicle’s body type.
Set the due date if the customer has a time expectation. Due dates power the overdue alerts on the dashboard.
3

Move status as the job progresses

Change the order status from Open to In Progress when work begins, then to Done when the job is complete. These status changes update what Operations Console and My Day show in real time.
4

Collect signature and generate invoice

From inside the order, capture the customer’s digital signature before or after handoff. Generate a PDF invoice to share via text, email, or print.
5

Record payment

Collect payment and update the payment status. Available methods depend on your configuration:The order updates to Paid and the revenue flows into your dashboard and Insights reports.

What happens when you mark an order Done

Closing a job is more than a status change — it triggers three automatic actions:
  1. Inventory deducts — each material attached reduces your stock by the quantity used
  2. COGS records — the cost of materials is captured at the unit price they had at the time of use
  3. Revenue posts — the order total becomes part of your financial reporting
This is why accurate materials tracking before marking Done matters. The gross profit you see in Insights is the difference between order revenue and the COGS recorded at job close.

Order numbering

Orders receive auto-incrementing numbers with a configurable prefix and padding (e.g., ORD-0042). You can change the prefix, digit count, and starting number under Settings → Order Management.
