Prior Perid Journal Entry
Overview of FW10
There are times when it becomes necessary to enter journal transactions in prior accounting periods. DDI Connect allows this functionality, but your ability to do so is controlled by the settings you opted for on the FundWriter Setup screen. To enter a prior period journal, the period or year in question must be open. If it is not, you must use the Close Period/Year screen to re-open the period or year. Once open, you can proceed to post transactions:
- From the DDI Connect main menu, double-click FundWriter
- Double-click Prior Period Journal Entry. You will see a screen similar to this one:
