Close the GL Period

Caroline Buckland Updated by Caroline Buckland

The process

Closing the General Ledger Period, this will close the current period and open the new period. Access can be given via security (facility denials) to allow a user to post to closed periods. Generally this will only be available for finance users.

We recommend that you check the Daily Checks menu before closing any system periods. In particular, check System Dashboard for any batches not fully processed as this could result in postings to an incorrect period. The Task Queue Controller should also be checked for any failed or task running.

For more information on the Daily Checks please review the reconciliation section.
