Scope & notes

Work order vs invoice

A work order authorizes and documents the job; an invoice bills for it afterwards. The work order goes out first: what will be done, where, when, and at what rates — so the client knows the scope before anyone picks up a tool. The client's signature at the bottom is acceptance of that scope, and the technician's signature closes the loop when the work is done. Disputes about "I never agreed to that charge" almost always trace back to a missing or vague work order.

Writing the scope well

The scope field is where jobs are won or lost: include what is explicitly not included, who supplies materials, and any site conditions that affect the price. Two sentences of scope prevent most end-of-job arguments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the client need to sign?

A signature is the cleanest proof of scope acceptance, but written confirmation (email, text) also works. The point is to have agreement on scope before work starts, in any durable form.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything on this page runs inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.

Is this legally binding?

A template provides structure; whether a document binds anyone depends on content, signatures and local law. For anything with real money or risk at stake, have a qualified professional review the final document.

Can I edit the PDF afterwards?

The PDF is final-form. To change something, come back to this page, adjust the fields and generate again — your browser keeps the page, so it works offline too.
