Preventing further accounting input at month end in TBS2

If you have multiple staff members inputting accounting information into TBS2, it is highly likely that, as you approach a month end, you will need to prevent all other users from continuing to add new entries in to TBS once you want to start printing out reports and cross checking

This is now made infinitely easier with the addition of a pair of checkboxes available to each department via its Accounting Dates entry :

In this list, if you edit a departments entry, you will see the two new checkboxes :

The two entries are self explanatory.....

After one or both are set, if any user attempts, say, to enter a new cashbook entry, they will receive a message like :

with similar messages appearing for all relevant accounting entries, until such time as the next actual month end is run - at which point the checkboxes are automatically 'un-checked'

Note : the checkboxes are only here for sales/cashbook, and for the purchase ledger - there is no such box for prevention of general ledger entries
