Period Statuses You Can Select

The statuses you can select depend on the current status, as described in this table.

Current Period Status	Available Status Selections
Not Opened	Future Entry or Open You can't change a period status to Open if any prior period status is Not Opened or Future Entry.
Future Entry	Edit this status to Open.
Open	Closed or Permanently Closed You can't edit a period to Closed if: Any prior period status is Not Opened, Future Entry, or Open Any trial payment batches are unpaid. Delete or pay the batch first, then close the period. You can't edit a period to Permanently Closed if any prior period is Not Opened, Future Entry, Open, or Closed.
Closed	Open or Permanently Closed
Permanently Closed	After you permanently close a period, you can't reopen it and the application doesn't process transactions of any kind. Be sure that there are no new transactions, adjustments, payments, or any other outstanding transactions before you permanently close a period.

The Closed status prevents running crediting, rollup, classification, or calculation. This protects the payment amounts from being changed. You can reopen a closed period. You can't reopen it when it's Permanently Closed.
