Use the Create Revenue Recognition Worksheet to recognize revenue for a range of projects that includes the one you want to close.
Display the worksheet in the Revenue Recognition Worksheet form, then click Post to post the entries.

Select whether or how to confirm closure of the projects, then click OK.
If you selected an option to confirm closure, the program displays a message for each project until it has finished closing projects, unless you subsequently select the option to close all projects.
Click Yes to mark the project, or projects, Closed.

When you post the revenue recognition worksheet, click Yes when asked whether you want to close the project.
