To set up your books so that new transactions cannot be backdated or impact closed periods:
-
Select Firm Settings from the drop-down menu beside your avatar, then click Billing & Accounting in the left menu bar and select Billing Options from the expanded menu.
-
Scroll down to the Close Date fields. Each field will impact closing in different ways.
- Book Close Date - Prevents any transactions being created, edited or deleted prior to and including this date.
- Billing Close Date - Prevents any Time Entries/Flat Fees/Soft Costs from being created, edited or deleted prior to and including this date.
- Book Cut off Date - Prevents any transactions being created after this date.
If a user tries to create an entry that is not allowed, a message prompts them to reach out to a Firm Administrator. Only the Administrator has the authority to remove or change the dates so that the entry can be added.
