Period End Mode for Reports
In the standard reporting mode, you see only the standard transactions posted to an account. Period end transactions are not shown. A Period End Mode switch is added to general ledger and account register reports (except bank account registers) to let you see both standard and period end transactions. The switch appears to the left of the export buttons at the bottom of these reports. When you turn the switch on and off, the view refreshes automatically. If you change other report settings, such as the period range or subsidiary context, you must click Refresh to refresh the report.
If the Period End Journal Entries feature is enabled only for some subsidiaries in your account, you must select an enabled subsidiary in the Subsidiary Context and click Refresh to see the switch. To enable the Period End Mode switch in a consolidated subsidiary context, the accounting preference Use Consolidation with Period End Journal Entries must be checked. For more information about using consolidation with period end journal entries, see Defining Subsidiary Settings for the Period End Journal Entries Feature.
When Period End Mode is on, “– (Period End)” is added to the report title. The Subsidiary Context and Accounting Book filters have the following restrictions:
-
The Subsidiary Context filter options are limited to subsidiaries for which the feature is enabled and their parent subsidiaries.
-
If consolidation is enabled but the feature is not enabled for a parent subsidiary, (Disabled) appears to the right of the subsidiary name in the Subsidiary Context filter. This behavior applies only when the Primary Accounting Book is selected in the Accounting Book filter when you use multi-book accounting.
-
If the feature is not enabled for a subsidiary in a secondary accounting book, the Accounting Book filter does not include that book when the subsidiary is selected in the Subsidiary Context filter.
-
If consolidation is not enabled for a secondary accounting book and that book is selected in the Accounting Book filter, only subsidiaries that have the feature enabled are included in the Subsidiary Context filter.
When you open an account register from a period end journal, Period End Mode is automatically turned on. Similarly, when you drill down from the Post Closing Trial Balance, the General Ledger report is in period end mode.
