A Period Ending label displays on the `Vantagepoint` toolbar above the period ending date when the period that you are working in is the latest accounting period.

When you are working in accounting periods prior to December 2018, such as November 2018, the label on the toolbar is Prior Period Ending. For more information, see Changing the Accounting Period.
