After all Export Items have been processed and updated, you must complete the Export Job by sending a final status to Pleo.

This finalises the export workflow.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin:

* All Export Items have been processed in your AS/ERP
* [All Export Item statuses have been reported to Pleo](/docs/current/how-tos/accounting-integrations/how-to-update-export-items-for-as-erp-processing)
* You have the overall result of the export (success, partial success, or failure)

## Steps

### 1. Determine Final Outcome

Evaluate the results of all Export Items:

| Condition            | Event                   |
| -------------------- | ----------------------- |
| All items successful | `completed`             |
| Some items failed    | `completed_with_errors` |
| All items failed     | `failed`                |

### 2. Build Event Payload

**All items successful**

```json theme={null}
{
  "exportJobId": "JOB_ID",
  "event": "completed"
}
```

**Partial success**

```json theme={null}
{
  "exportJobId": "JOB_ID",
  "event": "completed_with_errors"
}
```

**Fatal failure**

```json theme={null}
{
  "exportJobId": "JOB_ID",
  "event": "failed",
  "failureReason": "ERP unavailable",
  "failureReasonType": "service_unreachable"
}
```

<RememberCallout title="Remember">
  Only include `failureReason` and `failureReasonType` when `"event": "failed"`. For `failureReasonType` guidance and supported values, see [Integration Design: Update & Complete Export Job](/docs/current/integration-design/exports/integration-design-exports-update-and-complete-export-job).
</RememberCallout>

### 3. Send Event

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.pleo.io/v3/export-job-events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "exportJobId": "JOB_ID",
    "event": "completed"
  }'
```

### 4. Handle Response

```pseudo theme={null}
if response.success:
    stopRetrying()
else:
    retryOrLogError()
```

* Retry on transient failures
* Ensure the event is sent only once per final state

<RememberCallout title="Remember">
  The Export Job should only be completed after all Export Item updates have been successfully acknowledged.
</RememberCallout>

#### Pleo Web App

Completing the Export Job triggers the **user-visible update in Pleo**.

* Export status is shown in the **Export queue**
* Users can review failed items and error details

<div style={{ textAlign: "center" }}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pleo-61d4d38b/Sk6KKlJRa6sMRffn/images/current/accounting-integrations/as-ui-export-job-completion-with-errors.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Sk6KKlJRa6sMRffn&q=85&s=4ff4839d34a121e2606f7874b6dd017d" alt="Export Job Completed with Errors" width="100%" style={{ display: "block", margin: "0 auto" }} data-path="images/current/accounting-integrations/as-ui-export-job-completion-with-errors.png" />
</div>

In the message banner at the top of your screen, click the **Review errors** link to see the reasons why Export Items failed.

<div style={{ textAlign: "center" }}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pleo-61d4d38b/Sk6KKlJRa6sMRffn/images/current/accounting-integrations/as-ui-export-job-completion-with-errors-details.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Sk6KKlJRa6sMRffn&q=85&s=2cff04048e96cb5cb8318f759b92e2b1" alt="Export Job Completed with Errors - View Error" width="100%" style={{ display: "block", margin: "0 auto" }} data-path="images/current/accounting-integrations/as-ui-export-job-completion-with-errors-details.png" />
</div>

## Result

After completing this step:

* Pleo marks the Export Job as completed based on the submitted event (`completed`, `completed_with_errors`, or `failed`)
* Export Job status is visible in the **Export queue**
* Export Item results (success and failure) are surfaced to users
* Failed items include error details for review and correction
* No further Export Item updates can be made for this job

<RememberCallout title="Remember">
  Once an Export Job is completed, it is **final and cannot be modified**.
</RememberCallout>
