Saving Calculations with a Period Close

The Period Close feature saves the most recent depreciation calculations and displays them in the three Period Close fields. When you conduct a period close, the system copies the amounts in the three depreciation-related fields to the three Period Close fields. The table below shows the three fields that contain your current depreciation calculations and the corresponding Period Close fields.

Current Depreciation Fields Period Close Fields
