I agree with Sam that having to send a Job to Archive is an awful way of handling this.

What is missing is an option in Payables Profile | Integration similar to the option in Receivables that asks "Validate closed periods" only it would say "Validate closed jobs" and be in the JobCost section. The possible answers would be (just like in Receivables) "Allow", "Warn only", "Disallow".

I'm assuming the new release of Payables will have the "Validate closed periods" option, but if it doesn't that is really a necessity.
