Managing Close-Off Dates Tutorial

Overview

Closing off dates allows you to 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 has been 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 Financial Close Off Date

How to Manage the Close Off Date

ℹ️ You can unlock dates by selecting a prior date (e.g. if transactions are locked until 31 July 2025, you can select 30 June to unlock July transactions).
