RE: JBA ML - Month end procedures

One other thought, in System Manager, on the Main Menu take option 5
Application Manager, then option 7 for Utilities, then option 5 to Allocate
Applications.  Here you can Allocate the applications that you are working
on at that time for MIS exclusive use only.  The only thing, the users will
not be able to use that application while it is allocated, but if you do it
one at a time, it would not be to bad.

We do end the monitors, but people still sometimes enter stuff.  As for
varying off the devices, we use Client Access, my experience has been the
system simply auto creates the next device.  Not to mention that there are
to many to mess with and many of these users still have legitimate inquiry
needs during the close process.

Why not end all monitors and vary off their devices.

Our accountants have been relying on people not entering new transactions
while they run reports and perform month end closes.  Since this is
basically an honor system, frequently someone forgets and enters something.
There must be a better way.

What procedures are others doing to keep transactions from being posted
during the month end close process?  Suggestions.


Thanks
