What is a work order?

Just like a lunch order is how you order lunch, a work order is how you order work that you need done. Since hiring a contractor is often more complicated than just buying a sandwich, putting your needs into a work order format ensures that all the relevant details are conveyed.

What is a work order template?

Writing up new work orders forms for every task you want done would be a giant hassle, so most companies prefer to use a work order forms template. Not only do order forms templates save time when writing up your work order, but by providing a standardized document, they also save time on the back end when going over the work orders later. And most importantly, they guarantee that all job orders and service tickets you issue will include not only a description of your request, but also a breakdown of the expected costs, tallying services, materials, and even tax.

When to use a work order template?

If you or your company regularly have to order from other suppliers or contractors, you definitely need some variety of order forms templates. When making simple orders of standardized goods where you can just say, "I want option #17a," a purchase order template may be more appropriate.

But for work where you need to give more detailed instructions specific to the particular job that will be done for you, a work order forms template is probably a better fit, since it's designed to include line-item details of the particular services you require, as well as an explanation of exactly what you're requesting.

How to strengthen your work order process?

As they say (or should), "A standardized process is a strong process."  Using a standardized 

work order sheet template keeps your team and your contractors all on the same page. And because the template is customizable, don't hesitate to consult with your accounts department to make sure the form is optimized for their convenience.
