- Go to a work order, work order line item, or service appointment. To demonstrate, we’re using a work order.
-
Click Create Service Document.
If you’ve entered a value in the service document’s template field, you land on the corresponding template. Otherwise, if you set a default, but no Service Document Template ID for the record or for the associated Work Type, the default template loads.
- Collect the required customer signature by having them type and sign their name.
- If you can’t collect the signature, click Can’t Collect Signature and provide a reason. For example, you can record that the representative wasn’t present.

Click Create PDF. You get a popup message signaling that
your request is queued.
When your PDF is ready, you get a notification under the Global Notifications bell.
