Marking a service complete
Finishing a service order updates the vehicle and feeds your reports. Here’s exactly what happens.
How to mark complete
- Open the service.
- Click the status field and pick Completed (or hit Mark complete in the actions menu).
- A dialog prompts you for:
- Completion date (defaults to today).
- Next service odometer (optional).
- Next service date (optional).
- Confirm.
What happens
- Service status becomes Completed with a green badge.
- Vehicle’s last service date and last odometer are updated.
- Vehicle’s next service reminders appear (if you set them) — customer gets a push 14 days before.
- Invoice (if any) counts toward your monthly revenue metrics.
- Service is locked from further edits by regular employees — admins can unlock via Revert to in-progress.
Setting the next service
Two fields:
- Odometer — numeric value in your workshop’s units. Example:
125 000 km. - Date — absolute calendar date. Example:
12 months from now.
Either or both is fine. If both are set, the customer is alerted when the vehicle reaches either milestone, whichever comes first.
Reverting completion
Admins can un-complete a service by picking any other status. This:
- Unlocks editing.
- Recalculates the vehicle’s last service from the next-newest completed service.
- Leaves the invoice intact.
Why locking?
Locking completed services prevents accidental edits that could break audit trails and invoice references. Admins retain override power; regular employees get a clean, read-only view.
