Accounting Journal cancelations and fiscal close deadlines

At 5:00 p.m. on fiscal period close days, all accounting journals that have a status of “in-progress” are canceled. This occurs because the period cannot close while any journals are “in progress.” The cancelation process is submitted by Financial Systems and Solutions staff members. If a journal has a canceled status with any of the following names, please note that the journal was not fully approved in time for the period close deadline:

• Vipin Jain 
• Mary-Frances McNulty
• Sherie McGregor
• Cynthia Rosa 
• Andrew Sgambato 

If the journal entry is still necessary, use the Copy related action to copy the journal into the open fiscal period. See these instructions to copy the journal.
