You can close discrete jobs using the Close Discrete Jobs (SRS) and Close Discrete Jobs windows. The window you choose depends on your requirements
The Close Discrete Jobs window enables you to:
Submit and immediately process job close requests
Specify a close date other than the system date
Unclose discrete jobs
Check and resubmit failed job close requests
View discrete jobs before closing them
The Close Discrete Jobs (SRS) window enables you to:
Specify when to submit the close request (concurrent or scheduled processing)
Specify a close date other than the system date
Use criteria for closing jobs based on a range of accounting classes, job numbers, and dates - including release, start, and completion dates
Exclude or include jobs linked to sales orders from the processing
Exclude or include uncompleted jobs from the processing
Exclude or include jobs with pending transactions
You can use the Close Discrete Jobs window to close discrete jobs and to resubmit jobs that have failed to close. You can also use this window to unclose jobs, that is, correct jobs closed in error.
Prior to closing discrete jobs, you can review job value information using the Discrete Job Value Report, which lists standard and non-standard asset jobs, or the Expense Job Value Report, which lists non-standard expense jobs. See: Discrete Job Value Report and Expense Job Value Report.
Note: Only jobs closed in error should be unclosed, and this should be done immediately after the close. If assembly costs are rolled up between the time you close then unclose a job, your costs may be incorrect because the unclose process does not revalue the job.
Before closing, unclosing, or resubmitting jobs, you can view job detail information (operations, material requirements, and resource requirements) and ATO sales order information for those jobs. You can also print reports for selected jobs.
In the Close Discrete Jobs (Form) window, you cannot close a job that has pending material, resource, or move transactions including those that the concurrent manager has not processed. You also cannot close a job that has uncosted material transactions. If you attempt to close a job for which pending or uncosted transactions exist, the close process fails and the job status changes to Failed Close. See: Viewing Pending Job Transactions. You have the option to close these types of jobs in the concurrent program.
When a job with outside processing operations is changed to complete, closed, or canceled status - an informational warning message displays if open purchase orders or requisitions exist for any of the operations.
Changing a job status to completed, closed, or canceled is prevented if open reservations exist. If you attempt one of these transactions for a job linked to a sales order, an error message displays. You have two options in order continue:
Unlink the sales order reserved to this job
Reduce the job quantity of the job to equal the completed quantity
If you close a job for an MPS-planned item with a quantity complete different from the quantity originally scheduled, the MPS for the actual quantity is automatically updated.
In Oracle Warehouse Management organizations, open move orders for a job are cancelled when the job is closed. However, you must perform an unload task transaction to delete the material requirement and move order record.
You cannot unclose a job that does not have a status of Closed. You cannot unclose a job that is linked to a sales order. You also cannot unclose a job that was closed in a now closed accounting period.
Information associated with a job is not deleted when the job is closed. You can view information for closed discrete jobs. You also can print reports on closed jobs and closed job values. See: Discrete Job Data Report and Discrete Job Value Report.
