Repair Order WIP &
Carryover Tracker
Track open repair orders, blocked jobs, next actions, promised completion dates, and carryover work so your shop can see what is moving, what is waiting, and what needs attention next.
Tracker Setup
Set the review date and identify this current WIP / carryover board.
Used for WIP age, past-promise checks, and next-review attention.
Scope: Use one row for one active repair order / vehicle. This tool is for operational WIP and handoff, not a complete repair order system. Remove delivered / closed jobs from the active board. The shop decides status, promises, priorities, and next actions.
Open Repair Orders & WIP
Record where each active job stands, what it is waiting on, and the next action needed to keep it moving.
| Job / RO (optional) | Customer / Vehicle | Date In | Current Status | Assigned Technician (optional) | Waiting On / Blocked Detail (optional) | Next Action (optional) | Action Owner (optional) | Promised Completion (optional) | Next Review (optional) | Carryover Tomorrow | Notes (optional) | Remove |
|---|
Up to 100 active jobs per tracker. Missing next actions and past promises are shown as attention items instead of blocking the board.
Status logic: Waiting Authorization, Waiting Parts, Waiting Customer, Waiting Sublet, and On Hold are counted as blocked / waiting. “Carryover Tomorrow” is a manual handoff flag; the tool does not decide automatically whether a job should carry over.
Tracker Notes
Record shop-wide handoff notes, special constraints, or items to review at the next meeting.

This board highlights dates and missing operational fields from the information you enter. It does not determine repair priority, customer authorization, technician performance, safety, staffing, or whether a promised completion date should be changed.
