Does anyone know the specifics of entering a transaction so that it is entered into the 13th period in G/L??  I know we can set up the process to use with accruals and year end entries, but I can't see anything in the documentation that specifies how to actually enter the transaction.

 Any ideas???

Under Configuration in G/L, I set up 13 Periods.  I use June 1 - June 29 for period 12 and June 30 for period 13.  I use period 13 for audit and year-end entries only.

Once period 13 is set up in Configuration with date of 6/30, the transactions post there just like any other period.  I can run reports through period 12 (excludes year-end and audit entries) or through period 13.

If you are going to use the 13th period for just year end and audit entries, make sure that your staff know that any other transactions that occur on  6/30 be given a post date of 6/29.  I usually keep the 13th period soft closed and only open it up when I want to make the 13th period adjustment to prevent a problem.
