How do I unlock a period

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To unlock a period in NetSuite, you need to navigate to the Manage Accounting Periods page. Here are the steps: 1. Go to Setup > Accounting > Manage Accounting Periods. 2. Find the period you want to unlock in the list. 3. Look for the lock symbol next to the period. If the period is locked, the symbol will be a locked padlock. 4. Click on the lock symbol to unlock the period. Please note that unlocking a period does not automatically unlock Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), and other related areas. If these are locked, only users with the 'Override Period Restrictions' permission will be able to post to these locked periods. System-generated entries and administrators can also post into these periods. To set up a user role with 'Override Period Restrictions' permissions, you can follow these steps: 1. Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles. 2. Select the role you want to modify. 3. In the Permissions subtab, add the 'Override Period Restrictions' permission. Remember, it's important to manage your accounting periods carefully to ensure accurate financial reporting. Always double-check before unlocking a period. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
