The Accounting Period Profile page allows you to review batches of transactions for a specific accounting period and make sure all revenue for that period has been recognized. After all revenue has been recognized, all exceptions have been corrected, and all batches have been closed and posted, the period can be closed.
The Profile Information Panels show the accounting period start and end dates and has links (revenue available for recognition and revenue recognized) that allow you to view revenue status reports.
The batches child form shows a list of batches processed during the accounting period. The list shows the batch name, batch date, batch control totals, transaction counts, and closed and posted dates. An arrow next to each batch name leads to a Batch Profile page containing detailed information for the batch.
