1 As part of the year-end process, all open jobs should be reviewed by the Business Unit to determine which jobs can be closed in JD Edwards (JDE). Closing a job in JDE (job status CLD ) removes the job from WIP resulting in a more relevant management reporting for the coming fiscal year. The Closed Job Checklist (Checklist) was created as a guide to assist a Business Unit identity any issues that will prevent a job from being inadvertently closed. As part of closing a job, the Posting Edit field on the Job Master is changed to N. Once the Posting Edit on a job is changed to N, the job can no longer have ANY ACTIVITY ON IT! This means if there is an open transaction on the job (or something not entered into JDE), the transaction cannot be completed or entered (i.e. cash cannot be received against and open receivable, unposted or needed journal entries cannot be posted, EAC s cannot be adjusted, vouchers cannot be paid on the job, commitments cannot be cleared, etc.). Ample time should be taken by the Business Unit to ensure that all items have been appropriately addressed and completed before submitting the form to Corporate for processing. Once the Checklist is completed, the Checklist must be reviewed and signed by the Vice President of Operations or the Project Manager AND the Business Unit Controller. Demobilization, known warranty issues, outstanding claims or legal matters, open insurance or union items, or final acceptance by the Owner must be addressed by the Business Unit prior to submission. If items are still outstanding at year-end, job status codes FCD (Field Close P&L Completed) or LIT (litigation) can be used to properly identify the job status. Once completed, the properly approved Checklist is then sent to JDESETUP mailbox for review and processing. Only system related items on the Checklist are addressed in this document. 1. Ensure all costs are posted in the system with the use of the Job Status Inquiry (JSI), One View G/L Inquiry on the Operations/Project Management Menu or the Unposted General Journal Report on the General Ledger Menu.
