How to Complete and Close Out a Service Order

Completing an order is the last step once the customer has their laundry and the order is paid. It moves the order to Completed, locks it from further edits, and keeps it in the order history for reporting.


Before you start

  • You are logged in to the Cents Employee App.

  • The order is finished processing and ready for pickup or delivery.

  • The order is fully paid (or billed by invoice).


Steps

  • Open the active orders drawer and select the order you want to close out. Ready orders are listed under Ready for Pickup.
    ​

  • Check the balance. If there's a balance due, collect payment first.

  • When the order shows as paid, tap Complete.

What happens after you complete an order

  • The order status changes to Completed and it's locked from further edits.

  • It stays visible in order history for tracking and reporting.

  • It can't be moved back to an earlier status.

  • Paid orders can't be canceled, removed, or have their delivery reversed. This keeps your financial records accurate.

Since completing is final, review the order details before you tap Complete.


Troubleshooting

  • The app won't let you complete the order?
    The order most likely still has a balance due. Collect payment first (at pickup, or from the order's 3-dot menu > Charge Now), then tap Complete. Orders billed by invoice can be completed before payment comes in.
    ​

  • Can't find the order to complete?
    Make sure processing is finished. Orders still in Processing need Complete processing before they move to Ready for Pickup. You can also search Active Orders by order number or customer name.
    ​

  • Completed the wrong order?
    Completed orders can't be reopened. If the customer needs money back, issue a refund from the order. For anything else, text our Support team so we can help.
    ​

  • Need to cancel an order that's already paid?
    Paid orders can't be canceled. Issue a refund instead if the customer is owed money.
