# Field Service Job Closeout Checklist

## Summary

Use this field service job closeout checklist to finish the record, invoice the work, and prepare the right follow-up.

## Direct Answer

Job closeout is the final check after service work. It confirms that the work record is complete, the customer knows the result, and the next money or reputation action is ready.

## Closeout checklist

Check these items before you mark the job complete.

- Final status and completion time.
- Work notes and photos.
- Materials and labor used.
- Customer update and open questions.
- Approved scope changes.
- Invoice and payment link.
- Review request or follow-up task, when appropriate.

## Use one closeout order

A fixed order reduces missed steps.

1. Check the completed work against the scope.
2. Record proof of work and any exception.
3. Confirm the customer knows the result.
4. Create and send the invoice.
5. Set the next reminder, review request, or maintenance task.

## Measure the closeout delay

Track the time from job completion to invoice and payment. Also track jobs with missing notes or missing customer updates. These measures show where the process breaks.

## FAQ

### When is a field service job complete?

A job is complete when the agreed work is done, exceptions are recorded, the customer has the needed result, and the next billing or follow-up action is clear.

### Should the invoice be sent before or after closeout?

Complete the closeout check first. Then send the invoice with the final scope and approved changes.
