Period Closing in Payables

Hello!

Currently, when we close our Payables module each month, we prohibit users from completing the following:

• AP Invoice Entry
• AP Invoice Validations
• AP Payment Batch Process
• AP Daily Transfer to GL

We have been asked whether any of those processes can remain functional while the AP Period Closing is occurring.

Based on my reading of Oracle documentation, we don't believe that we can allow invoices to be validated, payment batches to be processed, or AP transactions to be transferred to the GL while the Payables period closing process is running.  However, we think that users could continue to enter invoices while the AP period closing process is running.
