    Hello Muhammad Yousaf,

    Another 'place' to look out for the pending transaction that prevent you closing the periods is the inventory closing and adjustment form. If you open the close procedure button, the first option (check open quantities) gives you a report that should list the pending POs / SOs that have to be completed before you can close the periods.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Mohammad,

    Have you checked if there are records pending in the form 'Subledger journal entries not yet transferred'?

    Hi Yousaf,

    I see.

    Do you also get a similar error message when you try to close the 2018 periods?

    Previously you mentioned August 2019.

    Best regards,

    Hi Dr.

    I agree with you, but the year i am talking about is 2018....

    and our year closes in december

    and our finance team wants to close 2018 in any case

    so i must close all open periods of 2018

    Regards

    Yousaf

    Hi,

    Is the finance team aware of the implications and do they know the different between putting a period on hold and closing a period?

    I think you should explain them first to avoid any subsequent issue.

    Does your fiscal year end in August?

    If it does not then I would strongly recommend  not closing the period at the moment but putting it on hold instead.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Yousaf,

    Why you want to close the period?

    A closed period cannot be re-opened and as long as the year is not completely audited I would recommend not closing a period but putting them on hold only.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
