Occasionally, it may be necessary to make adjustments to repair or custom jobs that are already marked as picked up. These adjustments could be simple monetary changes (refunding money or collecting more) or could be changes such as adding tasks or parts.
Here are a couple examples.
Example 1. A customer decides some quick additional work is necessary, which is done while the customer waits when they bring the job back in. Additional tasks can quickly be added and charged for as an adjustment on the existing job.
Example 2. A customer is dissatisfied with work performed and you decide to refund the money paid. This could be done as an adjustment in a similar to performing a return of merchandise.
NOTES:
- Adjustments made to repair or custom jobs do not change the status of the job to open.
- If a repair is adjusted, the adjustment cannot be voided later.
