automate closing

  Hi,

working for a 400 FA book company (400 companies) spread all over the world and using R12.

We're trying to figure out how to automate the closing process (also for AP & AR) so massively.

Of course, we can schedule the launch of requests.

But how to "close" the period as this action is only possible the form ?  (customization).

But how reconciliate (or display the gaps as a dashboard) automaticaly between subledger and GL, on some key natural accounts like liability ? (without a manual process ?)

Any idea appreciated ...
