By entering and saving a new start date and end date, the new posting period is determined. Please note: The actual closing of the old period and the opening of the new period automatically takes place in a night task unless you select the checkbox 'Close immediately'.
When a posting date on the invoice falls outside the posting period, it is automatically changed to the first day of the open posting period. This can happen during the 'import and start workflow' step, or when activating a new posting period. In both cases this can be seen as an audit notification in the status overview on the invoice.
When creating (or changing) a posting period, the employee's name and the reason for the change are saved in the Audit.
