Periodic End Calculations

In Accounting Systems the term "Periodic End" either means a period like a month and or a period like a year. In "older systems" you also know the period of 10 years (deletion of old data) but actually we speak about the month and the year.

Today this two periods split the state of the accounting system into three different types.

Actually wie speak about

1. the standard accounting
   1. standard gift batches are allowed
   2. standard batches are allowed
   3. foreign currencies are allowed
2. the revaluated accounting
   1. standard gift batches are allowed
   2. standard batches are allowed
   3. foreign currencies are allowed
3. the year end accounting
   1. actually unknown ...

So:

1. the month end only can change to the status "standard accounting" if it is a month of the same year or to "year end accounting" if the last month of the year has been closed.
2. the year end has been done to set the value to the next year.

Info: The number of months can be lager than 12.

Month End

The month end will run the tests

1. If a revaluation is done (i.e if the status "revaluated accounting" ist activated) (critical)
2. If the system is not in the "year end accounting" (critical)
3. If there are unposted batches (critical)
4. If there are unposted gift batches (critical)
5. If there are non zeroed suspense accounts (critical)
6. If there are zeroed suspense accounts the user gets an informal message

The critical messages will disconnect any possibilities to continue.

The month end will include:

1. Calculation of the admin fees (to be done)
2. Calculation of the ich fees (to be done)
3. switch to the next month or to the "year end accounting" state
