RE: SYS21 - Month End on the 28th!

I'm not closing the GL in my overnight program.  We do a manual
reconciliation process before closing the other modules and then close the
GL when all issues have been resolved later in the month.  I am talking only
of the calendars associated with those modules not about period end which is
done manually at a later stage.  There are some modules that are closed by
our overnight process but not GL, VAT subsys every 3 months, cash book etc.

I'm not sure how much power the calendars have except that when they are set
wrongly (not enough in advance etc) problems happen.  They don't close the
periods themselves though.

Thanks for any help / advice,

Jenny

I'm not sure what "MD" is, but if you don't have to, do you REALLY want to
automate the Close process for all of these modules?

Won't you have timing and accrual issues and such?  Within the GL, are you
including CS, AP, & AR?

Also, is your program prepared to deal with issues that will NOT allow the
closure of a particular module?  GL and CS have typical issues, for example.


>From a timing and process standpoint, I think you're nuts to the close the
GL at the same time you close the other modules.

The rule is to close modules ASAP to control period based transactions (i.e.
Inventory transactions), but I can't imagine the Ledger being reviewed and
complete at the same time you should close your Inventory.

Dear All,

Thanks to the jubilee year our MD wants to run our month end on the 28th of
the month!

I'm quite new to the JBA game and am currently on my own in the IT
department looking after JBA.  I am going to change the following calendars;

Inventory
Manufacturing
Sales Analysis
General Ledger
GL VAT
World Trade
Service
Workshop

and I have made sure that our in house month end program is set to run on
the 28th.

Can any of you think of something else that might go wrong or think of
anything else I need to check?

Have any of you any experience of doing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours nervously,

Jenny M.
