Task 7: Lock periods
After you have completed your month-end tasks, you should lock that period using the Lock Periods feature. This will prevent anyone from inadvertently making an entry in a period in which you don’t want new entries. To do this:
1
Go to the Setup menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences window appears.
2
Click the Security tab.
3
Select the Lock Periods: Disallow Entries Up to and including [System-wide] option, and select the relevant date.
