Hi,

For an extra period, you would need to set up an additional period. If you are on a calendar year, this would entail making December 1 through 30 with December 31 as the 13th period. I would suggest contacting your partner for assistance in making this change as some transactions use dates and some period # and year # so, some resyncs and data corrections may need to be made.

You could use a Document type with the Period value of  "Closing."   See the blog Don’t overlook the Period value in Document types. for explanation of how this works.

Another alternative would be to create a separate Document type exclusively used for your closing entries. It wouldn't need to have a period value equal to Closing. You could exclude the document type from your reports.

For any of these, I would check with your business partner to map out the best way to accomplish this. Be sure to vet these changes in your test system to ensure that it works as expected and meets your needs.

Regards,

Pam
