Job statuses

Here is the complete list of job statuses:

- Draft (by manager)

- Offered to vendor (by manager)

- Offer accepted / rejected (by vendor)

- Started (by vendor)

- Completed (by vendor)

- Completion accepted / rejected (by manager)

- Canceled (by manager)

- On tender (by manager)

Over the job details table you can see the progress chart describing the workflow for the job:

The job may have the following statuses:

Draft

The job is still being edited and the vendor has not received any instructions to start.

By default, every newly created job gets the "Draft" status, and you can change it by clicking the "Change status" button:

The "Change status" button is available only on the Draft status. If needed, you can always move the job to draft by clicking the "Draft" button:

Offered to vendor

The manager has proposed the job by clicking the "Offer to vendor" button:

Note: If the vendor is assigned to other jobs with cross dates, the system will warn you about that when you click the "Offer to vendor" button. For more info, please see the Vendor availability page.

If a vendor is not assigned, the "Offer to vendor" button is not displayed. You may assign a vendor by clicking on the "Assign" button.

Offer accepted / rejected

• Offer accepted - the vendor has confirmed that they take the job.

Note: Auto start on vendor acceptance has to be marked if you want the vendor to start working straight away after the acceptance.

• Offer rejected - the vendor has rejected the job.

Started

The job will have this status if:

— the vendor has confirmed that they take the job after you propose it (Auto start on vendor acceptance is marked).

— the manager started the job manually after the vendor accepted it (Auto start on vendor acceptance is not marked).

When you click the "Start" button, the system sends an email message to the vendor notifying that you have started a job.

Note: If you have a planned job, and you would like to check vendor's availability, unmark Auto start on vendor acceptance. If the vendor confirms their availability by accepting the offer, you can start it when you need it.

Completed

The job gets this status when the vendor has delivered and completed the job:

Completion accepted / rejected

• Completion accepted — the manager has checked the delivery and accepted it:

• Completion rejected — the manager has checked the delivery and rejected it:

Canceled

The job gets this status if the manager has canceled the job:

On tender

The job gets this status if the manager has created a tender for the job, offered this job to several candidates by clicking the "New tender" button in the "Tenders list" section.

To get an idea of how it looks from the vendor’s side, please have a look at the Vendor user manual.

If you want to delete the job, click the "Delete" button:

Note: The job which has payables linked with invoices cannot be deleted unless you delete the linked invoices
