Here is a general description of what each Status Flag is intended to mean.  

Inspection - Diagnosing each Customer Concern by processing inspection, or assessing vehicle needs

 
Approval - The customer has been advised of the estimated cost and recommended repair and approved work to begin

Parts - Parts have been ordered

 
Assembly - Parts have been received, and repair is occurring

Q-Check -Repair is completed. Possible test drive, or other quality assurance measures set by shop owner are taking place

Final - Customer has been contacted that repairs are complete, and vehicle is ready for pickup 

Closed - Customer has paid for repairs and taken vehicle back

Tips: 

• If a Repair Order status is marked anywhere between Inspection, and Quality Check: When you go to Print or Send Update to a customer the Repair Order will indicate that its an Estimate. 

• If a Repair Order status is marked Final or Closed, the Repair Order will show to the customer as an invoice when it's printed.

• Florida Shop Owners: Auto Repair Form Requirements for the State of Florida Estimates will show when the Inspection Status is selected.
