# Close-Out

## The Complete (Close-Out) stage is the final step in the MOC process, where the Originator conducts a final review before officially closing the change. Once closed, the MOC is moved to the MOC \> Completed folder for future retrieval and review.

### **Key Features**

**Who Can Close Out an MOC?**

- Only the Originator can complete (close out) an MOC.

**Requirements Before Close-Out**

- All non-critical implementation requirements must be completed.
- All non-critical action items must be completed.
- All Send Notice sign-offs must be completed.

**Status Indicators**

- A **green checkmark** next to the Complete task means the MOC is ready to be closed out.
- A **red X** next to the Complete task means there are still outstanding items preventing close-out.

### **How to Complete (Close-Out) an MOC**

1. From your **Frontline Desktop**, select the MOC title under the **MOC tab**.
2. Click **View MOC Summary** and review it carefully. Select any attachment or requirement links to view information relevant to your task.
3. Click **Close** to exit the summary.
4. Click **Complete MOC**. The Complete MOC form will appear.
5. If applicable, select **Inactivate MOC Notice Training Item(s)** to inactivate the Send Notice training item created for the MOC.
   
   > **Note:** This is typically selected once proper documentation has been updated to reflect the changes made during the MOC and there is no longer a need to assign the Send Notice training to new employees.
6. Enter any optional comments and click **OK**. The MOC is moved to the **MOC \> Completed** folder.
7. Click the **Frontline Desktop** icon to return to your desktop.

**If the MOC cannot be completed due to incomplete sign-offs or action items, a message will display describing what is preventing close-out.**

Once completed, the MOC will be removed from your MOC tab. If it was your only assigned MOC task, the MOC tab will no longer appear on your Frontline Desktop.
