# Work orders

A work receipt is the place in Powerall where you can easily record consumed materials and hours worked for work on a [Service object](/en/service/service-objects.md). You record the materials and hours per [activity](/en/service/work-orders/activities.md). This ensures that the materials and hours are shown as a "group" on the invoice. By default, every work receipt has one activity that is automatically created by Powerall.

When creating the work receipt, you can immediately choose a [Partner ](/en/crm/contacts.md). When filling in the [Service object ](/en/service/service-objects.md)the service objects that are owned by the selected partner are always shown.

With the work receipt, you can register the driven kilometers via a [trip](/en/service/work-orders/trips.md). You can also invite external mechanics to collaborate on the work receipt by creating an [invitation](/en/service/work-orders/invitations.md) .

### Order types

You can set order types for work receipts. For example, whether it is billable or not. You can set this for the entire work receipt, a specific activity, or per line. For materials, labor, and trips, you previously could only set per line whether it is billable or not.

By default, there are already two order types available, namely 'Billable' and 'Not billable'. Work receipts, activities, and lines with the order type 'Billable' are charged on to the customer.

### Work address

At Work address, there are three options you can choose from.&#x20;

* Workshop (the work is carried out at the customer's premises)
* Customer address (if the customer has multiple locations, you can select here at which location the work must be carried out)
* Other (here you can enter an address or coordinates manually)

### Invoice preferences

For the work receipt, you can also indicate what the invoice preferences are for when you invoice the work receipt. By default, 'Use partner preference' is checked. Then the preferences specified for the partner are adopted. If you uncheck this, you can enter the preferences manually.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.powerall.app/en/service/work-orders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
