Field ticket

A job-site record used to document services, labor, equipment, or materials provided.

Why it matters

In oil field and energy services factoring, a signed field ticket is often required proof of service delivery before a factor will advance against an invoice. The ticket documents the specific services, equipment, and personnel deployed on a job site, providing evidence the work was actually performed. Without a signed ticket, the invoice may be considered unverifiable and ineligible for funding. Energy services companies should confirm which ticket formats their factor accepts before starting the program, since different factors have different standards for acceptable documentation.

How it appears in contracts

Factoring agreements for energy services and oilfield work specify documentation requirements in the Eligible Receivables or Verification section. Requirements vary: some factors require an original customer-signed ticket; others accept a company-signed ticket with additional corroborating documentation. Missing or illegible field tickets are among the most common reasons energy services invoices are held or rejected during the verification process. Sellers should also confirm whether digital signatures and electronic field ticket systems satisfy the factor verification requirements before switching documentation platforms mid-contract.
