Repair Orders

Focus the active-work board on repair orders that still need action.

VehicleDesk organizes imported active work by local workflow stage with customer, vehicle, value, service-line, and estimate context while keeping source edits in Shopmonkey.

How it works

Prioritize, prepare, and track the next staff action.

The feature stays connected to source context and makes each staff-controlled transition visible.

01

Prioritize

Exclude work that no longer belongs in the active queue.

Paid/invoiced work, archived estimates, empty estimates older than two weeks, and non-empty estimates older than one month are excluded under documented rules.

02

Prepare

Open service and estimate context without leaving the board.

The detail view keeps linked customer, vehicle, value, mileage, service lines, and estimate state together.

03

Track

Move local workflow state deliberately.

Drag, archive, ready-for-pickup, and complete actions update VehicleDesk workflow state without implying a source-system write.

Connected workflow

Active work stays connected from booking through cost review.

The repair-order board sits between appointment intake, the customer and vehicle record, and the parts invoices and returns that affect the work's operating picture.

Appointments

Place and confirm work against the requested time, bay, customer, and vehicle context.

Customer and vehicle

Open the relationship, service, mileage, inspection, and maintenance evidence behind the order.

Parts and vendors

Enter vendor invoices, reconcile totals, link parts to repair orders, and track returns and cores.

Limits and trust

Important boundaries stay beside the feature claim.

Active work only

The board is intentionally not a complete historical repair-order archive; paid, invoiced, archived, and stale records follow explicit exclusion rules.

Shopmonkey remains authoritative

Source repair-order edits and financial finalization continue in Shopmonkey.
