Freeze the General Ledger

Immediately after you post all cash receipts and billing transactions for the accounting period that you are reconciling, freeze the General Ledger. You can notify all staff that no further transactions can be posted to the period being reconciled, or you can disable data entry in the system.

You disable data entry to individual modules on the Entry Edit Status subtask of the Manage Subperiods or the Manage Accounting Periods screen in the General Ledger module. When you disable data entry, no new entries are allowed in the period.

Note: Disabling data entry does not disable posting of transactions that have already been entered. If you do not want to disable data entry immediately after posting all journals, double-check the journals to ensure that they contain no unposted transactions.
