Start Here OneCrew Required Training Estimated time: 10-15 minutes

Overview

Project statuses show where a Project is in the OneCrew workflow. They help Sales, Operations, Field, Costing, and Accounting understand what has already happened and what needs to happen next.

Some statuses update automatically when an action is completed in OneCrew. Other statuses require the responsible team to review the Project and manually update it.

A Project status should reflect the actual condition of the job. Other teams rely on this information when planning, scheduling, costing, invoicing, and completing work.

Why Project Statuses Matter

  • They show where a Project is in the overall workflow.
  • They help the next team know when it is ready to begin its work.
  • They support scheduling, reporting, costing, invoicing, and follow-up.
  • They help prevent Projects from being overlooked or moved forward too early.
  • They provide a consistent way to track work across business units and departments.

Automatic Statuses

Automatic statuses are triggered by specific actions completed in OneCrew. Users should still understand why the status changed and confirm that the Project information is accurate.

Status Automatic Trigger Primary Team
Lead A new Project is created. Sales
Estimating An Estimate is created on the Project. Sales / Estimator
Needs Approval A saved Project meets the configured approval-threshold amount. Sales
Scheduled All services included in the Estimate have been added to the schedule. Operations

Manual Statuses

Manual statuses require the responsible team to confirm that the required work is complete before changing the status.

Status When It Should Be Used Primary Team
In Progress Work has started and is actively underway. Operations
Field Complete Field work is finished and all required actuals have been submitted. Foremen / Operations / Costing
Ready to Invoice The job has been reviewed, costing is correct, and no costs remain unverified. Sales
Invoiced Invoicing is complete and the invoice has been sent to the customer through Business Central. Accounting
Complete Payment has been received, costing is complete, and no further action is required. Accounting
On Hold The opportunity is expected to continue later, but active work is not currently moving forward. Sales

Statuses That May Be Automatic or Manual

Some statuses may update automatically when OneCrew is used for the full process, but may need to be changed manually when the related action occurs outside OneCrew.

Status Automatic Manual
Proposed The Proposal is sent digitally through OneCrew. The Proposal is sent outside OneCrew, such as through a separate email.
Accepted The customer digitally signs or accepts the Proposal through OneCrew. A signed or accepted Proposal is received outside OneCrew.

When a Proposal is sent or accepted outside OneCrew, the responsible user must make sure the Project status is updated manually.

Status Responsibility Overview

Team Common Status Responsibilities
Sales Lead, Estimating, Needs Approval, Proposed, Accepted, Ready to Invoice, and On Hold.

Important Status Reminders

  • Do not change a Project status until the required action or review is complete.
  • Confirm whether OneCrew updated the status automatically before changing it manually.
  • When work begins, Operations is responsible for changing Scheduled to In Progress.
  • Do not use Field Complete until field work and required actuals are finished.
  • Do not use Ready to Invoice while costs remain unverified.
  • Complete always requires a manual review because every Project may have different final requirements.
  • Use the OneCrew Log to document important updates and notify the next responsible person or team.
