Closing a POS lab

When a POS lab is unanchored, what happens to any remaining jobs? These are jobs where the BPOs are NOT in the lab itself, but in a nearby station, and set by someone in a different corp in the alliance (so I cannot see who, or deliver them myself).

Jobs that are not complete?

All active jobs are cancelled upon un-anchoring, and the BPO (or BPC if there are remaining runs) returns to where it started.

Undelivered jobs are lost.

I think I understand, but just to make sure:

"undelivered jobs are lost": I think that means if the job is ME on a BPO, the BPO is returned with the original ME, or do you mean in this one particular case the BPO is lost?

If the job is completed but undelivered, it is marked as "Ready". If the job is cancelled (manually or via unanchoring) before it can be delivered, whatever research that was done is lost.

Example:
1. Submit a ME 0 BPO job for ME +200. It takes ten days to finish.
2. Ten days later the job completes ("Ready"), but is not delivered.
3. Job is cancelled, or lab is unanchored.
4. M.E. 0 BPO is returned.

If you are manufacturing, inventing, or reverse engineering, then all the materials are lost. In the case of manufacturing, you only get the BPO back, or the BPC if it has any runs remaining on it after subtracting the runs it whould have produced.

If you are copying, then no copy is created.
