Hi All,
We have this scenario that I currently don't have an answer to.
Our global finance teams utilise the
- Current posting layer to post US GAAP entries
- Operations layer (renamed) for some Local GAAP Adjustments
- Custom Layer(s) for IFRS and other adjustments.
At month-end, when the Current layer is already reported against, there is no way (that i'm aware of) to close this layer for posting for a given accounting period, but still allow users to post to the Operations or other Custom layers for their adjustments.
We currently workaround this by leaving the accounting period OPEN, but attached a User Group within Ledger Calendar, limited to the users posting the adjustments, to reduce any risk of accidently posting to the Current layer. However, for these users, the Current layer is still open for posting, presenting a risk.
We've been able to manage this to date, but it appears the use of layers is growing and more Finance teams will be using it, with the impact on managing the access becoming too onerous.
Anyone else had similar issues and how they were worked around? Really trying to avoid a massive customisation to add this control.
Thanks
Simon
