In this step you set up the closing dates of the accounting periods for triggering month-end accruals computations.

Example

A company has an internal rule stating that all postings from HR have to be posted by the fourth working day of a month, at the latest. This date would be the closing date irrespective of when the accounting department actually closes its books for the accounting period.

Recommendation

To avoid problems, it is advisable to set the closing date slightly earlier than actually necessary.

If employees can work simultaneously in more than one company code, or switch between different company codes, ensure that the closing dates for those company codes are identical.

Activities

Specify the date on which the closing date is to fall for each company code and accounting period.

Further notes

To ensure correct processing, the posting dates have to be defined well ahead of time and should not be changed if they have already been used in month-end accruals computations.
