* Estimate-to-actual variances are reviewed.
* Customer invoices and vendor bills are created and posted.
* Advances and settlements are complete.
* Required payments and receipts are allocated.
* No unbilled or unexplained charge remains.
* Job profitability has been reviewed by the responsible role.

  <Step title="Review the selected job">Confirm the operational and financial checklist. Investigate any missing actual cost or unbilled revenue warning.</Step>
  <Step title="Run the closing action">Use the configured job-closing action. Read confirmation and validation messages before proceeding.</Step>

## Reopen or cancel closing

Use **Job Order - Closed** and the authorized cancel/reopen action when a closed job requires correction. Document the reason, obtain approval, correct the underlying transactions, and close the job again after review.
