1. Locking Financial Periods

Navigation: Global Overview > Fiance > General > Lock Financial Periods


Once a financial period is locked for a community it prohibits any users from processing any financial transactions up until the locked date. This is a permission-based function.




On the page, all communities will be listed. The community's current financial period dates as well as a status on whether that community's financial period is locked or not. This will be displayed in the second column. To lock a period, click on the word Lock in the fourth column.




The following screen will appear. Select the date up until which financial transactions should be locked. Select Lock after a date has been selected





Note that once the financial has been locked, it can not be unlocked. To process in the financial year that has been locked, select a date before the date when financial processing needs to be done. The date can however be changed only by users who have the relevant permissions.




To change the financial dates, click on Edit.




Select the date up until which all transactions should be locked.

 



Once the date has been selected the date, click on Lock.
