When I am reporting for a game I have run, I usually save and exit and assume I am finished. It appears I need to go back into the event and select edit to be able to select "complete reporting" to close the event out. Having said that - what does this actually do? If I don't close the event out, it appears my players are still getting credit and PP. It appears Im also getting credit for having run the game. Is it merely a question of being able to go back in and edit the reporting?

Complete reporting removes the event entry from view on your GM/Event Coordinator tab. Once you start building & reporting more and more events this tab can become quite lengthy if you aren't closing them out. So you are right that you don't need to report them completely to get everyone the credit they have coming, but good housekeeping requires you complete your reporting.
Complete reporting is important if you are organizing games at a lot of different venues that have their own event codes. When I first started to use the reporting system (my first event code was #13, this weekend's convention was #8,492) I used to create a unique event for every gameday instead of adding it onto the original. After a while it was hard to tell which events I had reported sessions for since I had so many going on simultaneously. So that's why I encourage good housekeeping practices.
