Documentation

Definition

With this option, the period is not closed. The system checks only whether the preconditions exist for closing the period successfully.

Use

You can run the period closing program, for example, as follows:

  • One or more days before the change in period with the option Check period only
  • On the day of the change in period with the option Close period only

Compared with the option Check and close period, this reduces the runtime by approximately 50% in each case.

Running the program with the option Check period only does not lock any materials; that is, you can use this option during productive operation.
