How to lock a period after filing

After you file a return or close a year, lock the period: nothing dated in it can be posted any more.

Steps

  1. Open Lock periods

    Choose Settings, then Lock periods.

  2. Add the period

    Choose Add period and enter its last day; add a comment such as the return it was filed for.

  3. Close it

    A closed period is enforced: postings dated on or before its end are refused.

  4. Correct in the open period

    A later correction posts to the open period as an adjustment, leaving the filed figures as they were.
