Period close rules determine how the system assigns accounting dates when it processes transactions.

Each period close rule includes an accounting date rule used to assign an accounting date to a transaction, along with an accounting date rule used to assign an accounting date to a transaction in the event that the accounting period for the date identified by the initial rule is closed or does not exist. The system applies the period close rules you create to transactions that have message types of MTOPEN, MTCLOSE, and MTLINK. By default, it applies a period close rule of latest open period to transactions for other message types, such as MTCANCEL and MTCASH.

Set Up Entities for Period Close Rules

Content on this page:

Before you create period close rules, you use each entity's Accounting Period Rule Date field (tag 2300) to indicate the criteria that the system uses to identify the period close rules for the entity's transactions. If the entity uses period close rules applied across a group of funds, you use the Accounting Date Rule Group field (tag 4303) to identify the entity group that has period close rules used by the entity. These fields appear in the Add/Change Entity panel and the Master Fund Setup panel.
