# Complete a work order

> Record parts used, mark a work order as done, and collect a rating

> [!NOTE]
>
> You need permission to update work orders. **Owners**, **Admins**, and **Members** have it by default.

## Record parts used

If you used parts or materials from inventory, record them on the work order. This takes the stock out of inventory and tracks the cost against the work order.

**1. Open the work order**

In the sidebar, under **Maintenance**, click **Work Orders**, then click the work order.

**2. Add parts**

In the **Parts** card, click **Add Parts**.

**3. Fill in the details**

* **Item** — search by name, SKU, or barcode
* **Storage Location** — where the stock was taken from. Only locations with stock are listed.
* **Quantity** — how many you used
* **Notes** — any extra details (optional)

**4. Save**

Click **Add Parts**.

The **Parts** card lists each part with its type, quantity, location, cost, who recorded it, and when.

### Return unused parts

Click **Return Parts** in the **Parts** card. Select the part, the **Storage Location** to return it to, and the **Quantity**. You can return parts to any location, not just the one they came from. **Return Parts** is available only after parts have been added.

## Mark the work order as completed

**1. Click Update Status**

Click **Update Status** at the top of the work order.

**2. Select Completed**

Under **New Status**, select **Completed**.

**3. Document the work (optional)**

Add **Notes** to describe what you did. Click **Take Photo**, **Record Video**, or **Browse Files** to attach "after" photos or receipts.

**4. Save**

Click **Update Status**.

Relyant records the completion date, which appears as **Completed** in the **Work Order Details** card. The assignee gets an email about the status change.

> [!TIP]
>
> If someone needs to check the work first, set the status to **In Review**, then move it to **Completed** once it's approved.

## Ratings

If **Enable Work Order Ratings** is turned on in [work order settings](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/settings/work-order-settings.md), the requester can rate completed work:

* If the work order came from a maintenance request, the completion email includes a link to rate the work.
* When the requester opens a completed work order that hasn't been rated, Relyant asks them for a rating. They can also click **Add Rating** in the **Rating** card.

Requesters can't rate work orders that are assigned to themselves. See [Reviews](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/maintenance/reviews.md) to see all ratings in one place.
