Outstanding work is the fourth panel of the new work wizard. Once the vehicle has been chosen, the service records are automatically searched for any outstanding work. In the software, outstanding work is work that has been deferred on a previous visit.

It would also indicate that the customer had work done elsewhere which is something you may have not been otherwise aware.
