Re: JBA ML - Month end procedures

This is a procedural versus technical problem  Only the accounting
department should be able to enter transactions into the general ledger.  At
the end of the month, close all other module periods (A/R, A/P, Cash
Management, Inventory) to stop these modules from posting into GL.  After
the Accounting Department has finished "normal" entries, have them close the
month.  Any adjusting entries should be made using post to previous period
entries.
