Accounting periods are used to control, by month, when certain financial transactions can be made in the system. Different transaction types can be allowed/blocked monthly according to your internal finance processes, for instance, blocking transactions for timesheets and personal expenses once month end has concluded.
Accounting periods can be managed in the the settings module or the finance & administration module. They are usually managed by designated role(s) or person(s) within each agency or office.
