Re-open closed periods

In Sage 200 you can re-open closed accounting periods. This allows transactions from the source modules to be posted to the Nominal Ledger for that period.

You can only re-open a closed period when:

  • The period after the one you want to re-open is marked as Open.
  • The period you select is marked as Open for nominal adjustments.
  • There are at least two open periods and the number of open periods has not reached the maximum number you specified in the System Settings.

To re-open a closed period

Open: Accounting System Manager > Accounting Periods > Maintain Accounting Periods.

  1. Select the Closed period you want to re-open.
  2. Click Change Period Status.

    The Confirm Re-opening Period message window appears.

  3. Click Yes to re-open the period.
