The status of a work order is used to manage how and when work will be actioned, as well as updating requesters on the progress of work. ![](https://help.fmiworks.com/hubfs/image-png-Feb-17-2022-05-48-07-04-AM.png) ### When to use the 'To Be Invoiced' status The 'To Be Invoiced' status is an optional step in the work order process. The use of this status should be aligned with your organisation's internal processes. Using this status will lock the work order record. Any further changes to the work order will require System Administrator access.  For information on how to modify a work order that has been closed, see our article [How To Update a Completed, To Be Invoiced or Closed Work Order](https://9395238.hs-sites.com/knowledge/how-to-update-a-completed-to-be-invoiced-or-closed-work-order?hsLang=en). ### Moving a work order to 'To Be Invoiced' The 'To Be Invoiced' status is available for work orders that have the status of 'Completed'. ### What happens next? After selecting status 'To Be Invoiced',a confirmation page will appear. ![](https://help.fmiworks.com/hubfs/image-png-Feb-17-2022-05-47-58-56-AM.png) If configured, a work order status change email notification will be sent to notify the relevant parties of the work order’s closure.
