How to Update the Approved Budget on an Active Work Order
The approved budget on the work order is visible to the assigned Service Provider. Changes to this budget will be seen by the Service Provider and logged on the work order for verifying budget changes.
From your Dashboard, click the Maintenance dropdown and select Work Orders.
Now to select the desired work order, use the Search Bar then click on the Work Order ID on the Work Order page. You can also use Filter for easy search.
From the work order page, click on the Budget tab and look for the Approved Budget.
An admin user or a Property Manager may edit the approved budget that is not over the Hard Budget Limit otherwise, Property manager approval is required before it can proceed.
Update the Budget and click on Save.
