Hi,

I am new to this field service area. I am trying to close a work order and generate the Invoice after completing the work of a Work order.But I am not able to understand how the Life Cycle of a work order work.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Invoices are getting generated but it does not show what  Workflow does it? we have to go to Invoices to check the invoice creation. How do we get the invoice information in the Work order?

    OOTB behaviour.

    You can go to Field Service -> Administration  -> Field Service Settings and you get options below. If not showing fields just need to be added.

    I haven't got any Instances available at the moment that I can check on.

    Have you done an Advanced Find for Invoices? Can't remember whether it associates Invoice with something you wouldn't suspect.

    Only other things I can think of is having the product as used and not estimated?

    yes i have checked the administration section in Field Service, the invoice creation is set over Closed -posted status.

    I didn't get any error while changing the status to Closed Posted.i have also checked the system jobs, i din't find any system job regarding work order entity.

    I haven't bothered with the invoices for a while. Can you check if any system jobs or background process are running against the work order.

    Did you also follow Thomas's answer that invoice creation is set to yes in the Administration section of Field Service?

    Do you get a Business Process Error when saving as Closed Posted. I take it the and Booking against the Work Order is completed.

    Neil Parkhurst  https://neilparkhurst.com/ has some good documentation.

    I have added a work order product to Work order which is having a Amount(work order product).

    Also changed the work order status to Closed-Posted.

    but the work order is still showing as Active and no invoice got generated.

    Am i missing something?
