Create Begin Period

“Begin Period” locks your inventory On Hand and costs as of a given date. Begin Period helps your system work better and faster. It gives you a regular On Hand benchmark for tracking inventory discrepancies. It prevents backdating and editing previous period invoices and adjustments. It allows you to re-run inventory evaluation reports with the cost of goods at the time of “Begin Period”. Barnet recommends that you create a Begin Period once per month. This can be scheduled automatically on the first of every month, or you can add a Begin Period on your own schedule manually. It is important to note that you cannot add inventory counts on the same date as a Begin Period.
