The Change Posting Period dialog enables you to select a specific year and processing period for the current client.

Choose Actions > Change Posting Period.

Notes

  • To change the posting period for a different client, close this dialog and select the desired client from any of the data-entry windows in which you can select a client, and then reopen this dialog.
  • You can change the Period frequency for the client on the Setup > Clients > Accounting Information tab.
  • Because the application saves year-end distribution options, you can move between prior years and the current year without manually closing each fiscal year.
  • Only equity accounts (those with a classification code of EQ assigned to it) are included in the drop-down list in the Account column.
