When work is completed and the final costs are entered, you can close the work orders (WOs). The WOs are given a "completed" status, and will no longer display in other windows. This window also allows you to re-open a WO.
Note: For a WO to be closed, all of its Day Cards must be approved. You can approve Day Cards (other than Labor Day Cards for a date and time that fall within a closed pay period), or delete unapproved Day Cards, by using commands found in the Work Orders pane. (The Not Approved column of the Cost and Accomplishments pane shows how many Day Cards are unapproved for each type of Day Card.)
To complete a work order (WO), use the following steps:
- Open the Completion window.
- In the Work Orders pane, locate the WO that you want to close.
- If the WO is to be closed as of today's date, select the check box in the Completed column to indicate that the WO is completed. If the WO was completed on a different date, first scroll to the Completion Date column and enter the actual completion date. Then scroll to the Completed column and select the check box.
- After selecting the check box, the system checks whether unapproved Day Cards exist for the WO. If so, it will display a warning message. You then have two choices if you wish to proceed with closing this WO: (1) approve all Day Cards; or (2) delete unapproved Day Cards. Determine which of these is the best solution for you. Then right-click the selected WO and select either Approve All or Delete Unapproved. After this, again attempt to close the WO by selecting the check box in the Completed column.
