[JC] How Can I Re-open a Hard Closed Job?

Here are the steps to re-open a hard closed job and what to consider before doing it:

 If there have been costs and/or revenue posted to the job, you must first

1. Go to JC Company Parameters/ GL Close tab

TIP: Make sure that your JC Contracts form (Contract Master in previous versions) is closed when you make your JC Company Parameter changes. Open the JC Company Parameters fresh, the settings sometimes don't take if the form is already open.

2. Set the GL Close Interface level to No Update.

NOTE: It may also be necessary to set the same No Update options for the GL Cost and GL Revenue tabs if you continue to get errors in JC Contracts  

3. Go to JC Contracts (Contract Master in previous versions) and change the Contract Status to 1-Open.

4. Return to the JC Company Parameters and set the GL Close interface level back to its original status.

NOTE: If your JC Departments (Dept Master in previous versions) is set up with different GL accounts for Open vs Closed WIP Accounts, then you will need to consider this when re-opening/closing the job.  If you are opening the job because it was closed by mistake, you will need to manually reverse the GL entries that were posted during the original close process by entering them directly into GL Journal Transaction Entries.  When the job is closed again, the system will generate all of the entries.

If the Open and Closed WIP GL accounts are the same accounts, then this will have no GL impact and you do not need to make any GL adjustments.
