Welcome to the Period Close Advisor: E-Business Suite (EBS) [ID 335.

1]

Period Close is a critical process that can cause confusion regarding data dependencies between products / subledge
that need to be performed. This advisor gives you one place to find best practices and troubleshooting information t
period end issues.

How should this advisor be used?

The subledger application tabs are listed in the recommended order of closing based on the data flow dependency a
diagram. For example, Oracle Cash Management needs to be closed before you close Oracle Receivables because ba
reconciliation in Cash Management will create miscellaneous receipts in Oracle Receivables. Oracle Payables needs t
before Oracle Purchasing to account for purchasing accruals at period end. You also need to close Oracle Payables be
Oracle Inventory and Oracle Assets. Lastly, you close all of your subledgers before you close General Ledger.
If you do not use a product listed, skip that tab and go on to the next. For example, if you do not use Oracle Inventor
and move on to the procedures for the next one listed, Oracle Projects.

For further questions, please feel free to visit the My Oracle Support E-Business Suite Community and post a question in the C
are interested in.

Thank you!
