Configuring GL Company Parameters
GL Company Parameters controls base options for the general ledger—audit tracking, how far ahead users can open months, and batch report attachments.
Before you start
- You have permission to change GL company settings.
Steps
- Open GL Company Parameters.
- Enable audit options so you can research changes later.
- Set maximum number of open months. Use a high value (for example
99) in test; in live, limit to about 3 or 4 so users cannot open batches far into the future. - Check Attached batch reports if you want posted-batch contents available for research.
Notes
- A high open-months value in production lets users create future-dated batches that disrupt period control.
Tips
- Review max open months as part of your annual close checklist.
