3. We have three options Open-Y Current-C Closed-N

  • Open allows you to post in that fiscal period.

  • Current will be the default fiscal period throughout the system. (Only one fiscal period can be set to current for each module.)

  • Closed restricts users from posting to that fiscal period.

4. To set one or multiple periods for an entire module(s), select the line(s)and use the action bar to perform the desired action.

5. Another way to set certain modules to one status and others to a different one, use the open button, set the module and save the line.

Note: The GL has to be open if other modules in the same period are also open.
