How To: Close GL Calendar when unposted entries exist

Product:  Clarus

Article type:  How To

Summary:
The General Ledger documentation says that it is possible to close a GL calendar period even though there are unposted entries.  How is this done?

Details:
The GL system allows a calendar period to be closed even though all entries for the period have not been posted.  To allow this requires an override of the system’s settings.  This can be a temporary change, left in place only until the period has been closed, and then modified back to the original setting.  Or it can be left in place as a permanent change – depending on the policy of your organization.  

Resolution/Workaround:
To close a calendar even though there are entries that are not posted, go to File > System > Setup > Allow Override.  Change the Allow Override  parameter to “Y” to allow the calendar to be closed.
