How to Close and Reopen GL Transactions in i-Account
Introduction
A general ledger (GL) represents the record-keeping system for an organization's financial data, with debit and credit account records validated by a trial balance.
In i-Account, for example, Admins can close and lock a GL after performing month-end closing and generating the monthly financial report. This step prevents any unauthorized or accidental changes to the closed financial periods. Once the GL is locked, users will not have access to edit or delete historical transactions or enter new transactions for the locked dates. However, the locked dates may be reopened by the admins.
