The Accounting Period document is used to define the accounting year, its subdivisions and their attributes to be used throughout the Kuali Financial System. Accounting periods usually correspond to calendar months but may include special processing periods, such as a period 'thirteen' for processing year-end closing transactions. Accounting periods are the periods to which financial transactions of any type are posted.

The Accounting Period document includes the Edit Accounting Period tab. The system automatically enters data into both the Old and New sections. Selected data fields are available for editing.
