What happens when I close a financial month?
Closing a month prevents a user from submitting or approving a Bill for invoice dates in a closed month. This ensures that values can no longer be adjusted once that financial year or month has ended.
If adjustments need to be made, you can reopen the month(s) within Settings → Finance → Closing Months. Once the changes have been made, you can navigate to the same page to close the month(s) again.
If an account has Bill Approval Routing disabled, users cannot submit a Bill against a Purchase Order within a month that has been closed, and they will receive the following error.
