When all results have been checked and accepted, you can confirm the entire inventory order to the original creator. Please also note that a confirmation is only possible if all sub-orders belonging to this order have been confirmed (by the respective assigned user of the sub-order).

When the inventory order has been confirmed, you can "End task" in the user tasks. This completes the process for an inventory task.
