Reopening Closed Period

Question

Is it possible to reopen a closed month? We realized that we need to reopen December but aren't sure if that is possible.

In BusinessWorks, except Payroll, I believe you can post up to one month in the future and 12 months in the past. You may must allow prior-month posting at Utilities (top menu), System Preferences, the third box from the top. Set this to "Yes" to allow prior-year posting. 
 Then make your entries, and reprint all affected reports. You MAY then want to change the "Allow Prior..." setting back to "No".

You cannot reopen a closed month but you can post to a past month if you have your setting set to allow it (From the Utilities menu, select System Preferences, click Yes under the 'Allow prior month posting' heading.) In A/R, A/P, C/M, I/C and O/E you can post 12 months to the past. In GL you can post 24 months to the past. In PR, you can only post to a past month in the current quarter.
