soft close status, and a contract start month (JC Contracts Info

only. If you need to Final Close the contract, it must be done using
this program.

- If you allow closing a job including any purchase orders or subcontracts that have not been interfaced (JC Company Parameters > Info tab > Close Purchase Orders when Job Hard-Closed and Close Subcontracts when Job Hard-Closed checkboxes), the system will ask you to confirm closure of the subcontracts or purchase orders before hard-closing the job. Open purchase orders and open subcontracts are listed on the JC Contract Close form's Open PO's and Open SL's tabs, respectively.
- If the GL Close Interface (JC Company Parameters) is set to Summary or Detail, the status can only be changed to Soft Close or Open (in JC Contracts) if no cost or revenue detail exists for the contract.
- Click the Initialize button when complete. Contracts that meet the selected criteria are added to the JC Contract Close form. You can also remove any contracts that were accidentally included.
