Period Analysis & Closing

Period Analysis & Closing Video

We recommend all practices run the Period Analysis & Closing report to report on and close their financial periods.  By closing the period, you are locking the posting dates and ensuring that your financial statistics for the period never change. The closing process is not mandatory, but is highly recommended. To start the close, simply choose the date that will be considered the last posting date of the period.

  • Closing a Period is typically done at the end of the month
  • Closing locks the financials for the period by preventing the posting dates within the closed period from being used after the close.


Month End Worklists may appear after the closing date has been selected. These highlight issues that need to be resolved prior to closing.
