The five job stages

Every job is at one of five stages. Sustainable ERP moves most jobs on by itself when your engineers finish visits; the office steps in for the rest.

Stage What it means How it gets there
New Job Logged and not attended yet. It may already have a visit booked. When it’s created
Awaiting Parts You’re waiting for parts before the next visit. The office marks it
Attended An engineer went and said more work is needed. The engineer answers No at the end of a visit
Complete The work is done. The engineer answers Yes, or the office marks it complete
Cancelled It won’t go ahead. A reason is always recorded. The office cancels it

Those aren’t stages, they’re about the visit. A job at New Job might have a visit that’s Scheduled, Dispatched, En route or On site. You’ll see that as a second badge next to the stage. See What the visit badges mean.

Also not a stage. Jobs show Not invoiced, Part-invoiced or Invoiced as a separate flag, so a job can be Complete and still waiting to be billed.
