fix:

You can not unclose a job that is not in a status of closed.
You can not unclose a job that was closed in a closed period.
You can not unclose a job that is attached to a sales order. 

If the job does not meet any of the above criteria,then it can be unclosed. 

There is no repercussion for unclosing a WIP job except the variance for the 
job is not removed or updated until the job is closed again. This means if the 
job is unclosed, and the period closes, the variance will be posted to the job 
even though it is not closed.
