Accounting periods are used to control by month, when certain financial transactions can be made in the system. 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 finance & administration module or the settings module. They are usually managed by designated role(s) or person(s) within each agency or office.
