How do I reopen a preliminary closed job?

Use Reopen Jobs to make jobs that have been preliminary closed accessible for editing. If the job is final closed you cannot use this routine to reopen it.

You would reopen a preliminary closed job when additional work, costs, or corrections need to be entered after the job was temporarily closed. Reopening the job allows authorized transactions and updates to be processed before the project is finalized. This helps ensure all project activity is complete and accurate prior to performing a final close.
