Adding a retrospective service record

For work that already happened — a paper record you're digitising, or a visit that never got logged at the time. No active work order needed.

Before you start

This page isn't linked from the sidebar yet — go directly to Add Service Record at /admin/service-records/new (worth bookmarking if you're migrating a batch of paper records).

Walkthrough

Two steps: fill it in, and it's added as a completed job.

Step 1

Fill in what happened and when

Title, a service date in the past, job type, customer and site, and who did the work — pick an engineer and their F-Gas cert number fills in automatically if they have one on file. Once a site is selected, tick which indoor and outdoor units were actually serviced.

Step 2

It's added straight in as completed

Create Service Record adds it directly with a Completed status, backdated to the service date you entered — no Scheduled or In Progress stage, because the work is already done. It behaves like any other completed job from here: service notes, a full service record, and a PDF report ready to generate or share.

Frequently asked

Does this need an engineer to actually do anything on their phone?

No — the whole record is created from the office in one go. There's no job card for the engineer to fill in, since the visit already happened.

Can I add units after creating the record?

Unit selection happens at creation — if you need to change it afterwards, use Edit Submission on the resulting work order.

Is this the right way to migrate years of paper records?

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. Each one becomes a real, backdated completed job, so your service history stays accurate even for work done long before you started using Climexa.
