Release

Keep permission to work separate from work discovered
The repair order should show exactly which operations are authorized and which still require a decision.
Authorized operations
Connect each task to the accepted estimate version, labor expectation and responsible technician.
Parts and evidence
Link required material, actual use, findings, photos and check results to the relevant operation.
Handle additional work without rewriting history
When repair scope changes, the record should preserve the original authorization and the new decision.
Raise the finding
Describe the issue, safety or functional impact and evidence.
Price a new version
Create a revised estimate rather than editing the approved amount in place.
Resume only after decision
Keep the added operation blocked until acceptance is recorded.
Know whether the job may proceed, pause or release
A single “in progress” status hides the decisions technicians need.
| What changed | What the team needs to see | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Operation authorized | Accepted estimate version and assigned technician | Start and record the work |
| Additional finding | Evidence, revised cost and customer decision | Hold the added operation |
| Part substituted | Reason, compatibility and authorization | Approve the change before fitting |
| Final check incomplete | Required check, owner and result | Block handover until verified |

Questions about auto repair work order software
What belongs on an auto repair work order?
Include vehicle and customer, concern, diagnosis, authorized operations, technician, labor, required and used parts, findings, changes, inspection results and release evidence.
Should a technician be able to add work directly to an approved order?
The technician should be able to raise a finding, but the added operation should remain blocked until a revised scope is authorized.
Can Jodoo show different work-order fields by repair type?
Yes. Conditional fields and views can present the relevant operations, checklists and evidence for each job type.
