What goes in a work order

A work order is the document a company gives a contractor or vendor to start a job: what to do, where, by when, at what rates and on what terms. Once the contractor signs a copy, it works like a purchase order for services.

What goes in a work order

  • Work order number, date and the quotation it is based on
  • Company and contractor details, with GSTIN
  • Site or location of the work
  • Scope: each item of work with quantity, unit and rate
  • Start and completion dates
  • Payment terms, tax, and the total in words
  • Terms: materials, safety, quality, penalty for delay, warranty
