		<List><ListIntro>In SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP1, you cannot post integration transactions to financial periods that either:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Have the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#closed" role="enum">Closed</GUIRef> status for integration transactions (INT).</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Do not correspond with the transaction date.</ListItem>

		<Paragraph>However, if you select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000#tfgld450.pnop" role="formfield">Period Handling Exceptions Allowed</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000" role="session">Integration Parameters (tfgld4150s000)</GUIRef>, session, you can manually enter a request for exception. If the request is approved, you can post the integration transaction to the next open period or to the closed period, provided the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#gld" role="enum">GLD</GUIRef> period for general ledger transactions is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Because for reconciliation only the fiscal period is considered, the exception requests only apply to fiscal periods. If the reporting period or the tax period is closed, the integration transaction is automatically posted to the next open reporting period or the tax period.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>In SSA ERP LN 6.1 FP2, period handling has changed. For each integration document type you can select the action SSA ERP performs if a period is closed.</Paragraph>
			<List><ListIntro>You can select the following closed period handling options:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.clha#except.handling" role="enum">Exception handling</GUIRef>
				</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.clha#post.next.per" role="enum">Post to next open period</GUIRef>
				</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.clha#post.curr.per" role="enum">Post to current period</GUIRef>
				</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000" role="session">Integration Parameters (tfgld4150s000)</GUIRef> session, you can select the default option. In the new <Link href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4579m000" role="session">Period Handling by Integration Document Type (tfgld4579m000)</Link>
				<GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4579m000" role="session"></GUIRef> session, you can select the closed period handling option for individual integration document types.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you select <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.clha#except.handling" role="enum">Exception handling</GUIRef>, you can indicate that SSA ERP must automatically create an exception request if the period is closed. However, the request must still be manually approved and you must ensure that the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#gld" role="enum">GLD</GUIRef> period status is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef> at the time when you post the integration transaction.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Period type selection</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>In SSA ERP LN 6.1 FP2, you can select the period type SSA ERP checks to detect whether the period is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
			<List><ListIntro>You can select the following period types:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#int" role="enum">INT</GUIRef> for integration transactions.</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#acp" role="enum">ACP</GUIRef> for accounts payable transactions.</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#acr" role="enum">ACR</GUIRef> for accounts receivable transactions.</ListItem>
				<ListItem><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#gld" role="enum">GLD</GUIRef> for general ledger transactions.</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>For example, if you select <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#acp" role="enum">ACP</GUIRef> then you cannot post an integration transaction if the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#acp" role="enum">ACP</GUIRef> period is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#closed" role="enum">Closed</GUIRef> even if the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.pech#int" role="enum">INT</GUIRef> period is still <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#open" role="enum">Open</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4585m000" role="session">Requested Exceptions for Integration Transactions (tfgld4585m000)</GUIRef> session, you must enter the fiscal year and period, the reporting year and period, and/or the tax year and period to which the integration transaction must be posted. Only the fields that correspond to a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.sper#closed" role="enum">Closed</GUIRef> period are enabled.</Paragraph>
