Hello everyone, I think I know the answer, but just to double check - Is there a way to close the accounting periods for everyone except one person/role? I think it's not possible, but just wanted to confirm. Basically, they keep the books open for everyone till Day 3 of the month. They stop all transactions on Day 4 where one person does all the consolidation and adjustments. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks!

I think it’s possible but test it You need to close until the step : close AP/AR and lock all The only role/user have the permission override period restriction Then he can edit or create ( need to check ) a transaction

you need to do close AR and close AP steps. then one role can post manual journals and do all other following steps. Keep in mind that any type of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable accounts will not be available for manual journals when you close first two steps.
