When the Job Ticketing workflow is set up, the SysAdmin can specify the statuses in which an order must be charged. You can charge for orders at any point in time, except when they are being created. When an order is moved to a status requiring charging, the operator will be prompted to enter the charge amount. Operators can also enter the charge amount by editing the Charge Account field in the Order Form directly.

Job Ticketing does allow an operator to charge a customer without them accepting the costs. Some print rooms or FabLabs might have a policy where orders under a particular value (eg. $5) will be charged automatically without a quote, while more expensive orders will be quoted first. Or alternatively, a department might have a standing order (eg. weekly newsletter) that has a fixed cost and is charged to a shared accountA shared account is an account that is shared by multiple users. For example, in business, shared accounts can be used to track printing costs by business unit, project, or client. Organizations like legal firms, engineering firms, or accounting offices often have long lists of accounts, projects, clients, or matters. In a school or university, shared accounts can be used to track printing by departments, classes, or subjects.. It is up to you how you want to handle this workflow. If a quote is required, you should add the quote using a comment.

You can edit your order only if the order has not yet been charged to your account. Once it has been charged, you need to contact the print room or FabLab (by adding a comment to the order) to find out if it is possible to changes. You cannot, however, change the uploaded files.

Yes, you can delete an order at any stage before it has been charged to an account. Once it has been charged, you can still move it to the Canceled status, but you might also need to refund the cost of the order, depending on your refund policy.
