Booking hours and closing service requests

Book employee time for service requests and close service requests concurrently on the Book & Close page of the Service Requests form. To close a service request, the service request to close must be open and associated with an open work order to which personnel is assigned. Closing a service request also closes the work order to which it is associated. You must have sufficient system privileges to close both the service request and work order.

Note: All hours booked for a service request are recorded on the work order associated with the service request.
