Important Update: Accounting Periods Open/Close Button
With our latest update to the EMDECS system, the functionality of the "Accounting Periods Open/Close" button has been relocated to the "Month End" screen, which can be accessed via the Financials -> Month End menu path.
Please be aware that some features within the "Month End" menu do not apply to Integrated Accounting customers and may not be functional at this time (marked in Orange in the walkthrough).
To open or close your accounting periods in the EMDECS system, please refer to the instructions in this article.
Callout Note: Additional changes to the screens mentioned below may be implemented in the future to enhance user experience.
