Rehearse final delivery and contract reconciliation with accepted output, rejected units, unused customer material and agreed extra work. Confirm who approves each balance and how returns or disposal instructions are recorded. Closing the production order should not automatically erase remaining customer-property, acceptance or billing obligations that require a separate commercial decision after the build ends.
Understand the decision
For a hypothetical rehearsal, a contract delivers its accepted quantity but leaves unopened customer components, a few rejected assemblies and authorized rework not yet invoiced. The customer requests some material back and permits another portion to remain for a future order. The team must document both dispositions and keep the unsettled charge visible.
Work through the requirements
- Reconcile output and all remaining customer material.
- Approve return, retention or other disposition instructions.
- Confirm unresolved acceptance and billing items before closeout.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Final material account | Explain supplied, used and remaining quantities. |
| Customer disposition | Record approved return or retention decisions. |
| Closeout checklist | Identify accepted and outstanding commercial obligations. |

Watch for this failure
A finished build is not necessarily a finished contract. Test the remaining obligations explicitly, and ensure the person closing production cannot accidentally remove the evidence needed to return customer property or resolve approved charges after the shipment.
Continue the evaluation
This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
