Rules for Determination of Close Dates:
- There must be at least 5 business days after the month end to close the actual ledger. If there are less than 5 business days the ledger close will go out to the next Friday.
- The Friday for year-end close is the Friday of split payroll week. Due to July 4th holiday this year, year-end close will be on 07/19/2024 to allow additional time for year-end activities.
- Ledger closes are scheduled for Friday's due to the length of time is takes for monthly reports to run after closing.
Logic for ADJUST Ledger Close:
- The ADJUST ledger will be used for the monthly/quarterly adjustments after the ACTUALS ledger has closed.
- The ADJUST ledger will close 1 week after the ACTUALS ledger closes. For the quarter close, the ADJUST ledger will close 2 weeks after the ACTUALS ledger closes.
- For Fiscal Year End, it will close on the last work day of July.
Logic for Period 998:
- Period 998 is for annual adjustments.
- This period will open on April 1st and will close on August 30, 2024.
- After the period is closed, any additional adjustments will need to be requested thru the Associate Controller in the President's Office.
