Temporarily Pausing Close Activities to Generate Reports

Options for Temporarily Pausing Close to get a Snapshot in Time

Content

Hello,

At times during our close period we need our GL users to stop processing journals so we can get a snapshot in time by generating certain reports.  We do this by closing the period.  Then, after we get our reports, we reopen the period so everyone can continue their processing.  I am curious to understand if other organizations follow this process or if there are other ways to do it without having to temporarily close the period.  I appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

Thank you,

Amy
