Closing Module Periods
Updated by Caroline Buckland
The process
If modules within Advanced Financials need to be closed for a period, other than the GL module, the following process should be followed. There is a separate process for closing a General Ledger period.
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.
