Closing off periods

When you are printing finance reports you need to ensure that data will not change after the reports have been printed.
The Reporting Month End Date in Finance Config Maintenance is used to 'lock in' the reporting month so that data cannot be changed on or prior to that date without the appropriate security rights.
The following security rights are needed in order to post prior to the reporting month end date.

The 'lock in' date can be changed at any time if required but be careful as it can affect others who are working in the security areas listed above.
