How to Mark a Whole Job Complete in EDGEBIC

To mark a whole job complete in EDGEBIC by User Solutions, click Complete this Job on the Job View tab, enter the completion date and an optional reason, and click OK. This is an order-level action, separate from closing individual operations. It locks actuals entry, banners the job as completed, and shades its bars. The roll-up tells you when a job is ready to close, but closing it is still a deliberate click.

Completing a single operation is a different task, covered in how to complete an operation. This is the whole order.

Before You Start

Step 1: Confirm the Roll-Up Is Ready

Open the Job View tab and select the job. The header carries the job progress figure. It reaches 100 percent only when every operation is done, because a job reports an actual end for the whole order only after its last operation closes. Finishing one step early never flags the whole job, which is exactly what keeps the Job Progress report and the dashboards honest.

If the roll-up is short of 100 percent, an operation is still open. Close it first: how to complete an operation covers the per-step stamp, and how to record a partially finished operation covers a step that finished short.

Step 2: Click Complete this Job

1. Click Complete this Job on the Job View tab.
2. The Mark Complete dialog asks for a completion date and an optional reason.
3. Click OK.

The header now shows the completion banner reading that the job is completed on that date, the Log Actual and Complete this Job buttons lock, and the job's bars take the completed shade on the Gantt.

Step 3: Reschedule the Rest of the Plant

Closing the order releases the capacity it was reserving. Run a reschedule for the remaining open jobs so that freed capacity flows into the plan, rather than leaving other work queued behind a job that is already off the floor. The safe procedure is in how to reschedule safely.

What Changes When You Complete the Job

How to Reopen a Job

If the completion was premature, click Reopen Job on the Job View tab. The banner clears, the logging buttons unlock, and actuals entry is available again. For a build-to-stock order, reopening reverses the finished-goods receipt so on-hand returns to where it was.

One thing reopening does not do: it does not clear the actual dates on the individual steps. The order returns to a schedulable state, but each operation keeps whatever actual start and end it had. If you need to fully reset the job to not-started, clear the per-step actuals after reopening, which is how to reopen a completed operation applied step by step.

How to Check It Worked

The header banner reads that the job is completed on the date you entered, and the Complete this Job and Log Actual buttons are disabled. On the Gantt, every bar carries the completed shade. Open Job Audit and confirm the newest event is the order-level completion with your completion date. For a build-to-stock order, check that on-hand for the finished item rose by the build quantity. Reading the trail is covered in how to see who changed a schedule.

Common Mistakes

• Trying to close the order with an operation still open. The roll-up stays short of 100 percent and the completion cannot certify a job that is not finished. Close the operations first.
• Treating the roll-up figure as the completion. Reporting 100 percent means ready to close, not closed. The order-level stamp is still a click you make.
• Completing a build-to-stock job before the parts exist. On-hand rises for finished goods that are not really finished. Close the order when the last operation is genuinely done.
• Forgetting to reschedule after closing. The rest of the plant keeps scheduling around capacity the finished job no longer needs.
• Reopening and expecting a full reset. Reopening unlocks the order but leaves step-level actuals in place. Clear those separately if a clean slate is the goal.

Next Steps

If a step within the job is wrong rather than the whole order, how to reopen a completed operation and how to correct a wrong actual date are the surgical fixes. To confirm the reschedule after closing did what you expected, read how to reschedule safely.

Bring a job on its last operation to a demo of EDGEBIC and we will close it out and reschedule the plant around it.
