Why are Work Orders useful?

By separating out the project-specific details from your Master Contract into individual SOWs or Work Orders (WOs), you no longer have to renegotiate the overall engagement each time you want to start work. In Liquid, you agree to Master Contracts by completing your Client's onboarding process.

In Liquid’s intuitive Work Order creation form you will quickly send off the project details — including milestones, deliverables, fee schedule, rates, and more — letting you rapidly kick-off projects.

All Work Orders are tied to your Master Contract so the overall terms of your engagement — payment terms, confidentiality, etc — automatically apply to every Work Order.

Moreover, when creating an invoice from a Work Order in Liquid, your invoices will take advantage of  Liquid's Invoice to Work Order matching system. This system lets your Clients know when your Invoice matches a Work Order, making it easier for your Client to approve payment. If the Work Order is created outside of the Work Order, or if you accidentally send a duplicate invoice, or if you add additional line items to your Invoice, or if you otherwise edit your Invoice so it no longer matches the Work Order, you and your Client will receive a red or yellow warning notifying you both of the mismatch. This mismatch will not prevent you from sending your invoice nor will it prevent your Client from paying your Invoice.
