Built as the default: a second confirmation and a warning on both routes; the open work orders are kept on the seal and in the log.

To answer: keep, or block until VISUAL shows closed.


Plan reference: Q36 in docs/PLAN.md (open questions). Answer here; the build takes the default until then.

Noted: filing waits until VISUAL shows the work orders closed. The packet sits in a Clerical "Ready to close" column until the feed sees VISUAL closed, then moves to "Ready for data book". Recorded in docs/PLAN.md as change C5, to build in phase 10. I applied it to packets routed to Shipping too; say so here if Shipping should be different. Closing.

Building this now (filing waits until VISUAL shows every work order closed, on both routes). One case needs your call:

If a work order is deleted from VISUAL while it still showed open, Packet Station never sees it close, so the packet could never be filed. Which should happen?

  1. Treat a work order that has been gone from VISUAL for 2 feed runs as closed, so the packet can move on.
  2. Keep it blocked and let an Admin mark it closed by hand, with a reason that is logged.
  3. Something else.

Until you answer, it stays blocked. The question above about Shipping still stands: as built, Shipping packets wait for the VISUAL close too.
