Cancel a job

Overview

Cancelling a job correctly is essential in order to ensure your reporting data and other records are accurate and up-to-date.

Things to know

• You can't cancel any jobs with payments attached.

• You can use the Canceled Job alert to track when jobs are booked. For more information, see Use alerts.

• When a technician is already dispatched to a job that gets canceled the technician receives a notification saying: This job has been canceled. You are no longer assigned to this job.

• You cannot batch and export a cancelled job's invoice.

Manage cancel reasons

Note: Only administrators can manage cancellation reasons.

Adding job cancel reasons that accurately reflect why jobs are canceled in the context of your business is crucial to accurate reporting and record-keeping. Call reasons should be meaningful, specific, and easy to understand by everyone at your business.

1. Go to the top toolbar and click Settings .

2. In the side panel, go to Operations > Cancel and Hold Reasons.

3. Add, edit, activate, or deactivate job cancel reasons as needed.
