Work Order Close

This function is used to complete and close the firm work orders in process which have been tracked beforehand.

The Complete function specifies the status "completed" of each operation, material and product line released. The WO status changes automatically from "in process" to "completed". It is possible to continue to perform production tracking on a completed work order that is not yet closed.

The closure function sets the WO status from "firm" to "closed". It also authorizes the launching of the cost price. It is normally impossible to save consumption or work movements when the status is "closed". However, the WO reactivation utility can be used exceptionally to continue tracking a WO provided that no price cost has been calculated for this work order.
