How to: Specify Posting Periods

When you specify posting periods, you limit the period in which posting is allowed.

To specify posting periods

1. In the top right corner, choose the Search for Page or Report icon, enter General Ledger Setup, and then choose the related link.
2. In the General Ledger Setup window, enter a date in the Allow Posting From field to specify the beginning of the period.
3. Enter a date in the Allow Posting To field to specify the end of the period.

The dates that you define here apply to the company and to all users.

Note: If you want to define different posting periods for different users, you can set them up for each user in the User Setup window. If you enter dates in the User Setup window, the dates entered in the General Ledger Setup window will not apply to these users.
