Confirm Restoration and Close the Case

Use authorized field confirmation and reconciled affected scope before recording restoration and reviewed closure.

Step by step

  1. Identify the confirmation Utility Coordinator

    Utility Coordinator obtains the authorized field result for the intended case. Check the external incident, asset context and actual restoration time. Retain the source evidence needed to explain what was confirmed and which operating scope it covers.

    • Locate the authorized field result and actual restoration time
    • Updates Service cases, Service evidence, Record attachments
  2. Reconcile affected scope Utility Coordinator

    Compare the confirmation with the case's affected units and current revision. The guarded restoration action refuses partial scope and missing evidence. Resolve uncertainty before requesting the complete restoration outcome.

    • Confirm evidence covers the intended affected scope
    • Updates Service cases, Service evidence
  3. Confirm restoration Utility Coordinator

    Utility Coordinator invokes the eligible action with the current revision and stable operation identity. The action records the actual restoration time and Restored when its checks pass. Denied actors, stale revisions and changed retries must not bypass those checks.

    • Record Restored and actual restoration time after guarded checks
    • Updates Service cases, Operation receipts
  4. Review closure evidence Authorized Utility Supervisor

    Authorized Utility Supervisor reviews the evidence supporting case closure. Confirm that the intended scope and actual result are supported. A completed interval under the case is not, on its own, proof of operational restoration.

    • Independently review the evidence required for closure
    • Updates Review decisions, Service evidence, Service cases
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  5. Close the reviewed case Utility Coordinator

    The eligible coordinator follows the reviewed closure action from Restored to Closed. Retain the confirmation, affected-scope evidence and operation history. Auditor can inspect the sequence without changing the outcome.

    • Move Restored to Closed only after evidence review
    • Updates Service cases, Operation receipts

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A field result concerns a different incident or asset. Resolve the reference before requesting restoration.
  • Confirmation covers only part of the recorded scope. Keep the outstanding work visible and correct the request.
  • A changed request reuses an earlier retry identity. Preserve the original intent and use the supported correction path.
  • Interval acceptance is treated as automatic case closure. Inspect the independent restoration and closure evidence.
