AM190


AM190 - Period Close

**Form purpose
Run Period Close (AM190) to close a period for all asset books for a company
or company group.

: Do not use this program to close the last period of a short year.
Use Short-Year Final Period Close (AM192) instead.

**Prerequisites
Before you run this program, make sure that the following steps have been
performed:
-  You have released all asset records (AM170).
-  You have calculated the current period depreciation (AM180).
-  You have run all the reports to make sure your asset entries are accurate
and made any corrections necessary.
-  You have backed up your data (strongly recommended).

**Required fields
You must select either a book or book group, AND either a company or company
group.

**Decision/Impact
Run AM190 with the Release option turned to No first to check the results
without posting them.
: Once you run AM190 with the Release option set to Yes, AM190 is
irreversible, which is why you should back up your data before running the
program.

**More help
When you have closed all periods for a given book for a company or company
group, run Year End Close (AM195) to close the year.
