Running the Project Close Analyzer Program

Select Project Reports (G31P14), Project Close Analyzer.

Use the Project Close Analyzer program (R31P403) to analyze the work breakdown structure (WBS) to determine whether a project can be closed. The system also calls this program when you attempt to close the project from the Project Workbench form. You can run this batch program for only one project at a time. When the program finishes running, it returns a value that indicates whether the project can be closed.

The program reviews every task to determine whether any of these issues exist:

  • Manufacturing work orders have not been canceled or closed.

  • Parts lists have open inventory commitments.

  • Purchase orders are still open.

If any of these issues exist for any task in the project, you must resolve the issues before you can close the project.
