# Unbilled change order

**An unbilled change order is extra work that was approved, and often already done, but hasn't been added to an invoice or pay application yet.**

## Why it matters on a drywall job

- Extras that slip past a billing cycle are easy to forget, and the longer they wait, the harder they can be to collect.
- Checking your change order log against each pay app helps catch them.
