AM-A Reset General Ledger Close Date
Purpose of Program
Use this program to reset your General Ledger Close Date and Open Period End Date. General Ledger posting will not be allowed from any programs in the system prior to the Close Date and after the End Date. The Close Date therefore should be set for the first day of the current open period and the End Date set to the last day of the open period. This prevents accidental posting to a closed period due to entry error. If you wish to purposely post to a closed period, simply change this date, post your transaction, then reset this date.
General Program Operation
Enter the new GL Close Date and End Date . The day of the week will automatically display in the next field. If this is the date you want, enter Y in the next field and the date will be reset. For Future Posting control, a P means that no transactions later than the Period End Date can be posted. A G means that Journal entries in GL-B are allowed but transactions from other modules are not.
