Status
All jobs listed in this screen have a Status of ‘RELEASED’. You can click the icon in this field to change the status. You are given three possible options:
•If no transactions have yet occurred and you do not wish the job to be released at this time, you can change the status from ‘RELEASED’ back to ‘NEW’.
•If no transactions have yet occurred and you wish to cancel the job, you can change the status to ‘FINISHED’ so that the job can be closed in the Close Jobs screen.
•If transactions have occurred and you attempt to manually change the status to ‘FINISHED’, you are warned that you are finishing the job incomplete and you will receive messages indicating which transaction types are incomplete. Manually changing the job status should be a rare exception because the status automatically changes to ‘FINISHED’ when the final receipt is made and all inputs have transactions.
