A Job represents a waste collection project for a customer. It holds everything needed to quote, schedule, execute, and complete the work.

What a job contains

  • Reference number (auto-generated, e.g. #1234)

  • Customer

  • Waste origin details (address + contact)

  • Description (optional notes)

  • Status

  • Waste items (types, estimated quantities, EPA codes)

  • Sales items (pricing lines for invoicing

  • Tasks (the work steps)

  • Assets (skip bins, containers, equipment)

  • ADG codes (where applicable)

Job status lifecycle

  • CONFIRMED – customer accepted the quote

  • IN_PROGRESS – collection has started

  • COMPLETED – work finished

  • CLOSED – final state; changes locked

  • CANCELLED – job cancelled (reason recorded)

Recurrence

Jobs can recur automatically (daily/weekly/fortnightly/28-day cycles) up to 18 months in advance.

Important relationships

  • Each job belongs to one customer (cannot be changed after creation)

  • Jobs create one or more tasks

  • Tasks can be scheduled into runs
