Viewing and printing a Statement of Work

The Autotask Statement of Work is a service call report that provides detailed information on all tickets and tasks scheduled in the call, as well as areas where miles traveled, parts used and labor performed can be entered manually. It is typically generated at the end of a service call, and provides an area for customer sign-off.

The statement of work can be generated from the context menu of all service call lists and the Generate Statement of Work drop-down menu on the Service Call page.

  • On the context menu of a Service Call list, click Generate.
  • On the Service Call page, click Generate on the Generate Statement of Work drop-down menu.

The Generate & Send option opens a notification panel where you select recipients who will be sent the statement as an attachment to an email. Refer to Sending a Statement of Work via email. You can create notification templates specifically for sending statements of work.

NOTE  Before you generate the Statement of Work, you should enter your time and any charges for materials used, so they are correctly reflected on the report. That way, you don't have to enter them manually after the statement is generated.

The sections of the report describe the following:
