Project tipWhat's the difference between changing the Project Controller period in Project Controller Setup and running the Close Period process?Project Controller Period in PC Setup displays the current period. This can be changed manually to allow project transactions to come in via FTT process.

Best practice is you can use this field to set the period back, but ALWAYS use the Close Period screen to advance the period forward and ensures that the balances are carried forward correctly

Close Period screen actually closes the period. If year-end close is done, balance forward amounts are calculated (where appropriate). Writes summary records for PTD and YTD amounts

Records created." Why? Transactions may not qualify for use by Allocation Processor

The period in the related module (AP, AR, IN) is not the same period number that is in Project ControllerChange the period field in Project Controller to the period that is in the related module.

For example, if AP is in 7-2011, then the Project Controller period field should reflect 7-2011
