THE DIRECT ANSWER

Document the newly discovered condition and the practical work remaining before revising the job. Record materials already used, parts proposed and any temporary action separately. Ask the authorized customer contact to review the changed commercial scope, and preserve the distinction between an interim visit and completion of the permanent repair.

Understand the decision

A repair can uncover an incompatible fitting or access problem after work begins. The technician may need to leave the site in an agreed interim state and return with different materials. Dispatch and finance need to see both the unresolved work and the approved charging decision.

Work through the requirements

  1. Describe the newly discovered condition.
  2. Separate temporary and permanent work.

Watch for this failure

Closing the attendance record can hide an unfinished repair if the business uses one status for both. Define what completion means for each visit and retain a visible owner for the remaining obligation.

Continue the evaluation

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
