Complete and close
Complete an order when production is finished. Close it when all costs and corrections have been recorded.
Completing
A build completes through its final receipt, not through a separate action. Once a receipt accounts for the last of the ordered quantity, received plus scrapped, the order moves to Completed.
A receipt that would leave units neither received nor scrapped is refused. See Receive finished units.
A completed order still allows:
- A late scrap report, for units discovered lost afterwards.
- A reversal of an issue that turned out to be wrong.
- A correction to labor.
These changes can affect the final cost of the build.
Closing
Closing moves the order to Closed. No further scrap reports, reversals or corrections can be recorded against it.
Close the order when its cost is final.
What can be closed
| From | |
|---|---|
| Completed | The normal path — the build finished and is settled |
| Cancelled | An abandoned build still has costs to settle, and still needs an end |
A cancelled build often has material issued to it that was never turned into output. Closing it says that position is final.
Before you close
Check the following:
- Receipts — is everything that was made actually received?
- Material — is anything issued but unaccounted for?
- Attention — is anything still flagged?
Once closed, fixing any of the above means a correcting entry elsewhere, not an edit here.
Closing cannot be undone
A closed order cannot be reopened. Leave it completed until all corrections are recorded.
