How To Reassign a Work Order

Steps to change the vendor assigned to a Work Order


If an assigned vendor is unavailable or the wrong vendor was assigned, you can reassign the Work Order to a different vendor at any time.

Steps

  1. Go to Work Orders

    From the left-hand navigation, under Warranty

  2. Find the Work Order

    Locate the work order you want to assign a vendor to

  3. Click the Vendor field

    Click directly on the vendor field in the row and select the appropriate vendor from the dropdown.

  4. Notify the new vendor

    By changing the status, you can notify the newly assigned vendor so they are aware of the Work Order.

Alternatively, you can assign a vendor from a Service Request:

  1. Open the Work Order Navigate to the relevant Service Request and open the Work Order.

  2. Update the Vendor field

    Click the Vendor field and select the new vendor from the dropdown.

  3. Save

    Click Continue to confirm the change.

  4. Notify the new vendor

    By changing the status, you can notify the newly assigned vendor so they are aware of the Work Order.

The new vendor will be notified automatically via email once the Work Order status moves to In Progress.


Key Notes

  • The vendor notification is triggered by the status change to In Progress β€” not by the reassignment itself. If the Work Order is already In Progress, make sure to update the status to trigger the notification to the new vendor.

  • The previous vendor assignment is replaced when you save the new selection.

  • If needed, add a note to the Work Order to document the reason for the reassignment.
