Posting Periods

Posting periods are used to maintain accounting periods that are open for posting and all closed periods are balanced. This is used for opening and closing the periods in the fiscal year for posting purposes. These are the periods of time that define your company's fiscal year and are used to post sales documents and generate financial reports.

To set up posting periods, in SAP Business One click: Administration > System Initialization > Posting Periods.

Each posting period has a status. You must have the active and current posting period with the "Unlocked" status. All types of transactions and documents are posted to this period. If you don't have the current posting period, you will not be able to post sales documents.

For more information, see the "Posting Period Window" article on the SAP Help Portal.
