Financial Perids |
-- The Financial Periods screen is where a set of financial periods for an accounting period is established, such as Jan-Dec of a particular year.
-- When a particular Financial Period is open, additional transactions can be posted to that period.

-- Loose meaning... Any and all reports that help users get a better understanding of the company financial standing. |
