Common data > General accounting tables > Multi-company period closing 

Use this function to close periods for a selected group of companies at one time. It is the same process as closing periods for individual companies but allows you to select a group or range of companies and periods. The process closes all periods for ledgers for all selected companies.

If the CTLCLOPER - Period closing balance ctrl. parameter (CPT chapter, CLO group) is set to Yes, the account balance controls are performed on all periods being closed. The account balance sign is also checked, and not exclusively when closing the last period of the fiscal year. Depending on the number of periods, this could impact performance.

A log file details which periods were closed and a reason why if any were not closed.

Ledger types not defined in the LEDTYPAUT - Automatic ledger type parameter (TC chapter, MIS group) are included for selection. Periods for these ledgers are not closed.

This process does not close fiscal years.
