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 |
| Current Year-to-Date | Period Close Year-to-Date |
| Current Accum | Period Close Accum |
| Current Through Date | Period Close Date |
