Module Objective

The Closing Sales Period module is an administrative tool used to officially close a sales period within the system. After a period is closed, sales transactions (such as Opportunities or Activities) within that period generally can no longer be created or modified. This process is important for finalizing data for performance reporting and accurate commission calculations

Tips & Important Notes

  • The period closing process is final. After a period is closed, you will most likely no longer be able to create or modify sales transactions within that period.

  • Before closing a period, ensure all sales transaction data (such as the status of Opportunities and Activities) is complete and correct.

  • This module is generally only accessed by the CRM Administrator or Sales Manager who has the authority to perform period closings.
