Managing Close-Off Dates Tutorial
Overview
Closing off dates lets you lock a financial period. No changes are allowed to transactions that are before the close-off date. This feature is essential for maintaining data integrity once a period is finalised. Only authorised users can change the close-off date. However, these users can change the date in any direction.
💡These tutorials explain how to set the close-off date.
