Accounting calendar defines the Fiscal Year in which the company is performing its accounting movements.

Up to 999 calendars can be registered and each can be linked to one or more currencies.

A calendar may have up to 99 Accounting Periods.


Each and every accounting entry is validated through information of this calendar. Thus, calendars must be registered carefully.

The following status can be defined for each of the accounting periods in the calendar:

  • Open

It indicates the period may receive entries normally.

  • Closed

It indicates the period was already closed and no entry can be made. Extraction of information (reports and queries) is available. This "status" is generated automatically by routine Year Closing.

  • Transferred

It indicates the period was already closed and transferred to a “backup” base. No entry can be made; information (reports and queries) is no longer available.

  • Blocked

It indicates this period is temporarily blocked for accounting entries. Information (reports and queries) is available.

Tip:

In this routine, you can only change status Open to Blocked. Other status are generated by other system routines.

By the end of the year, routine "Closing" changes calendar period from Open to Closed, thus protecting information.
