See when books were closed

There's a helpful way to see what books have been closed and when and who closed them. The Closed through summary is available if someone with the right permissions added it to a dashboard.

Closed through summary

The Closed Through Summary shows the closed-through date and other information for each application area. The following applications are included, but the user can see them only if they have the correct permissions to do so.

  • Accounts Payable
  • Accounts Receivable
  • Cash Management
  • Expenses
  • General Ledger
  • Time

You can set up the component to show a summary of the close status for all entities or list individual entities. Users can select the application name to drill down to that application’s Close page.

Add the Closed Through Summary to a dashboard

  1. Go Dashboards > All and select the dashboard.

    Or to create a new dashboard, select Add (circle) next to Dashboards.

  2. On the dashboard, select Add to add a new component.
  3. In the Component type field, select General.
  4. In the Component field, select Closed through summary.
  5. Select either Summary view or Entity view.

    If you're viewing the dashboard from the entity view, you'll see only the information for that entity. At the top level, you'll see all entities listed if you select Entity view.

  6. Select Save.

What you see on the dashboard

When you add the Closed through summary, you’ll be able to see an area on the dashboard with the closed-through dates. If the book has never been closed, you’ll see No close performed.

Closed Through Summary in entity view. Lists the entity, application name, and closed-through date.
