Migrate upcoming events with accepted scope, received deposits, outstanding decisions and current supplier commitments. Reconcile equipment and crew obligations separately from the customer's financial balance, preserving source order references. Historical events should remain reference material unless a return, dispute or financial adjustment still requires action after the agreed cutover date.
Understand the decision
A changeover may occur between supplier reservation and final confirmation, while deposits have already been collected. Another completed event may still have missing equipment or a disputed charge. The opening records must explain those live obligations rather than classifying everything by whether the event date is past or future.
Work through the requirements
- Identify obligations beyond the event date.
- Reconcile deposits and supplier commitments.
- Map equipment return and dispute records.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Event opening sheet | Shows accepted scope and remaining decisions. |
| Commitment reconciliation | Explains supplier, crew and equipment obligations. |
| Financial mapping | Connects deposits, invoices and open adjustments. |

Watch for this failure
Using the event date as the only status boundary can hide returns and unsettled supplier costs. Reconcile operational obligations and financial records separately, and retain source references until the responsible owners approve the opening position.
