Periods (Accounting Periods)

 

This feature allows you to set periods in Optimum Control to define Reporting, Accounting and even Inventory Periods.

NOTE: For Optimum Control Enterprise, these periods should coincide with website reporting periods.

 Once period information is finalized, the ability to go back and edit information prior to the closing date will require a user with permissions to edit.  See Period Lockout Preferences|topic=Preferences - Accounting.

Before adding periods, make sure you have indicated period length, starting day and month end treatment to ensure proper calculation. See Preferences.
