The Sign Shop Work Order Template gathers the details needed to solidify the sign production or services (i.e. mounting) that Clients will seek from the concerned Service Provider. Several details will need to be organized for reference during the course of the project such as when the Client can expect his or her order and the cost of the sign materials or the Service Provider’s time. Storing this information in the same manner across Clients will enable this Business to review the concerned order whenever necessary as well as follow up with an appropriate invoice.

Step 1 – Save The Sign Shop Work Order Template In A Preferred Format
The Sign Shop Work Order Template is available as a standard “Adobe PDF” or “Microsoft Word (.docx)” form and can be saved utilizing the preferred link above to initiate the needed download. Similarly, the two links in this section will act to start the same download of their respective files.
Step 2 – Produce The Sign Shop’s Contact Information
The first task the template sets is to prominently display the Sign Shop’s information. The top of this page has been developed with a few items to use for this purpose. First, submit the Sign Shop’s legal “Company Name” in the text field displayed at the beginning of this document. This text-field can be identified with the placeholding term “Company Name.” 
The Sign Shop Customer Service Representative must be addressed as the official Recipient. If this “Name” is unavailable you may also use the Manager or Business Owner’s “Name.” The first blank line below the Entity Name you provided expects this entry before you proceed. The “Street Address” label on the third line and the “City, State, Country” label on the third line both call for the entries you provide to be taken from the Sign Shop’s mailing address. The fourth line presented in this section seeks the address above to be concluded with the “Zip Code” of the Sign Shop’s mailing address. The “Phone” number where the Customer may reach the Sign Shop should be dispensed on the second to last blank line of the header leaving the final line to receive a report of the Sign Shop’s “E-Mail” address.
Step 3 – Assign A Distinct Filing Identity To This Request
The blank lines visible in the shaded area underneath the header will need two items. The first of these lines should be prepared with the filing number that will be commonly referred to as the work order number by both the Sign Shop and Client. Record this reference or filing tool on the line attached to the term “Work Order #.” 
Continue to the right where the “Date” that the Sign Shop’s work order number will be filed with must be presented on the blank line labeled “Date.”
Step 4 – Produce The Sign Shop’s Client Information
A record of the Sign Shop’s Customer must be attached with the order he or she is submitting. This record, which should be completed in the “Client Information” section. Here, we will assign one specific Party to assume the obligation of paying for this order. To this end, “Name” the Sign Shop’s Customer on the first blank line in this section then continue with some standard direct contact information by furnishing the Sign Shop Client “E-Mail” and “Phone” number to the lines that follow. 
The “Client Information” section also requires that you furnish the Sign Shop Customer’s billing address. The blank lines concluding this area will enable the “Street Address, “City, State, Country,” and “Zip Code” where mail can be sent to the Sign Shop Customer to be documented. Notice, at the end of this template the Customer will verify that this is the correct address through the act of signing.
Step 5 – Reserve The Sign Shop Service Dates
The first day the Sign Shop Staff will be required to work on the Client’s “Order” should be produced to the right of the “Expected Start Date” line. This can be found on the right side of the page just below this paperwork’s work order “Date.” Continue one line down where the day that the Sign Shop is expected to complete the Client’s signs or installations should be documented. Produce the deadline date to the Client’s request after the words “Expected End Date.”
Step 6 – Furnish The Details Of The Signs Or Materials Being Ordered
The Client may be ordering a production of signs, the installation of pre-made signs, or a combination of the two. Regardless of the reason, the Sign Shop will be obligated to charge the Customer for a physical item, any such expected purchase will need to be discussed beforehand. Thus, in the “Material” table, find the first column under the “Description” title then define the signs or sign project supplies being ordered for payment in this column. 
Continue to the second column, aptly titled with the word “Quantity,” where a recording of the number of signs or sign project supplies must be documented. The “Unit Cost” of every sign or sign project supply listed in “Description” must be dispensed in the third column. The “Amount” column of this table requires that the “Quantity” of signs or sign project supplies ordered is multiplied with that sign or supply’s “Unit Cost.”
Once the individual costs for each produced sign or required supply have been discussed, locate the “Total Material” box at the end of the “Amount” column. Here, a cost of every “Amount” expected for the ordered merchandise or billable supply must be added to a single figure then presented as the “Total Material” payment for the sign production project being discussed.
Step 7 – Attach The Proper Service Charges For The Sign Shop’s Work
The “Service” table that follows is set to enable a report on the billable time of the Sign Shop for this project. The “Description” of this time should consist of the Sign Shop work dates and times (to be) devoted to the Client’s order as well as require the Client’s payment. 
The number of “Hours” that make up the Sign Shop’s work times for the project must be counted then reported in the “Hours” column. Continue to the third column of the row being worked on then deliver the pay rate the Sign Shop will require for a single hour of service. The “Amount” column will require that you present how much will need to be paid for all the “Hours” worked. For this figure, multiply the determined “Hours” with the required “Hourly Rate,” producing the result in the final column of that row. Add all the Sign Shop’s “Service” amounts together. This will be the “Amount” the Customer must pay as the “Total Service” charge and must be recorded in the final box of the final column.
Step 8 – Summarize The Charges For The Sign(s) And Service
Generally, the Customer will expect the Sign Shop to provide a basic summary of the charges that contribute to the “Total.” To this end, find the “Subtotal” text field near the bottom right side of this template. Add the Sign Shop’s “Total Material” and “Total Service” to determine this project’s “Subtotal” then document this number in the “Subtotal” field accordingly. 
The dollar amount that should be paid in taxes (either as a service or sales “Tax”) should be displayed for the Sign Shop Customer in the box labeled “Tax.” The final figure to be calculated will be the “Total” the Sign Shop Customer must pay for the work, signs, and/or supplies discussed above. This will be the combination of the Sign Shop’s “Subtotal” added to its “Tax.” The text-field labeled “Total” must be used to convey the Sign Shop’s “Total” expected payment once you have calculated.
Step 9 – Name Yourself As The Reporter Producing This Data
The phrase “Work Order Completed By…” continues to a blank line where you must enter your name as the person who has entered some or all of the information above.
Step 10 – Include Additional Sign Shop Or Client Dialogue As Needed
The “Comments Or Suggestions” area supplies two optional empty lines where additional reports, communications, or dialogues may be presented from either Party. This section can be left blank if no more content is necessary. 
Step 11 – Acquire The Sign Shop Customer Signature
The Sign Shop Customer issuing this work order should be familiar with its requirements. He or she should perform a final review then sign the “Client Signature” line as a show of agreement to the payment terms statement provided.

Step 1 – Access The Sign Shop Spreadsheet Template From This Site
The “Excel” button (captioning the sample image) can be used to gain access to the Sign Shop Template it presents. The “Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)” link in this section will also grant access to this template.
Step 2 – Directly Address The Sign Shop
This spreadsheet will begin by introducing the Sign Shop being commissioned. Thus, present the logo used by the Sign Shop and its “Company Name” in cells A1 and A2. This is the Business being hired through this paperwork. 
The Sign Shop Employee this document must be directed to should be defined in cell A3 while the Shop’s formal mailing address is expected in cell A4 (“Street Address”), cell A5 (“City, State, Country”), and cell A6 (“Zip Code”). Next, submit the “E-mail” address where the Sign Shop can be contacted electronically in cell A7 and its official “Phone” number in cell A8.
Step 3 – Furnish The Sign Production Or Service Request’s Filing Number
Turn your attention to the right side of this page. Here, cell F5 is reserved for the Sign Shop “Work Order #” assigned to this project. The “Date” when the Sign Shop and Customer will assign to this request is assumed to be the current calendar day therefore it is displayed in cell H5.
Step 4 – Name The Sign Customer Generating This Request
The Sign Shop Customer must be identified as the Party who requests a production or service. Populate cell A11 with the Sign Shop Customer’s “Name.” 
Cell A12 and cell A13 enable the Sign Shop Customer’s mailing address to be displayed with its “Street Address,” “City, State,” and “Country” entered down these next two fields to be followed up with the appropriate “Zip Code” in cell A14. The Sign Shop Customer should have his or her direct contact details displayed with the information above. Cell A15 seeks the Sign Shop’s “E-Mail” address and cell A16 requires the “Phone” number needed to reach the Sign Shop Customer.
Step 5 – Register The Dates When The Sign Shop’s Time Is Required
The next topic dealing with the Sign Customer’s request is the first and last dates when the Sign Customer expects work to be done. Cell G11 is the first field requiring attention in the “Order” section and can be satisfied by populating the space after “Expected Start Date” with the first calendar day of the Sign Shop Service. Cell G12 completes this brief section by allowing the final date of work to be solidified. Enter this as a month, day, and year after the words “Expected End Date.”
Step 6 – Detail the Ordered Signs, Mounting Supplies, Or Sign Supplies
The Sign Shop “Material” table for this order will seek a recording of every physical product the Customer will require. For instance, signs or the supplies need to produce, repair, or install signs can be detailed in column A of this table (titled “Description”). 
Produce the number of sign materials to be billed in column F as the “Quantity” for this order. Next, furnish a record of the “Unit Price” that defines the amount of money to be paid for a single sign product in column G. The “Amount” that will be needed to pay for all the sign products needed will automatically generate in column H as a result therefore it is imperative that the “Quantity” and “Unit Price” values you report are accurate.
Step 7 – Address The Service Payment That Will Be Billed By The Sign Shop
In addition to a discussion on the physical sign materials that will be billed to the Client, the Sign Shop’s “Service” costs must be established. The next table of this sheet will require only a few entries per row for this task. Column A, where the “Description” section is placed, requires that every date when the Sign Shop works for the Client along with the start and end time of that date’s shift be displayed. 
Once a date and a shift have been defined as the scheduled time for the Sign Shop on this job, the number of “Hours” (column F) the Sign Shop will work is requested in the second column. Next, it is imperative that the pay rate the Sign Shop will charge for every one hour be dispensed to column G under the “Hourly Rate” label. Notice that the Sign Shop’s “Amount” column in the “Service” table populates with all amounts that will be charged to the Customer for the Sign Shop shifts defined with a value in columns F (“Hours”) and G (“Hourly Rate”).
Step 8 – Review The Final Table To Make Sure It Is Complete
Cell H36, the field holding the label “Tax,” is a requirement if any sales taxes or services taxes will be applied to the “Subtotal” by the Sign Shop on behalf of the governing Tax Entity. Determine then record the taxes that will be required with the reported “Subtotal” in cell H36. 
Step 9 – Identify The Sign Shop Preparer Of This Order
Cell A37 near the end of this spreadsheet shall require the brackets and label (“Individual’s Name”) be removed. This will allow you to finish the phrase “Work Order Completed By” with the identity of every person who has reported the content above.
Step 10 – Continue Delivering Sign Shop Or Customer Information As Required
There may be more content required by either the Sign Shop or the Customer for this paperwork. Cell A38’s label (“Comments Or Suggestions”) sets this field to display such information. If none is to be included, it may be considered optional. 
Step 11 – Properly Display The Sign Shop Client’s Authorization
Cell A42, displaying the “Client Signature” line expects the Sign Shop Customer to sign his or her name in response to the statement above it. This will approve the proposed sign production, repair, or installabtion with a promise that the Sign Shop’s Client will pay for the defined materials and services required for this projcet.
