The period that you are currently working with can be seen on all views in Period & Year, in the top right corner of the page.
Lock periods
When you have completed the reconciliation of a period, you lock it on the start page.
A period must be locked before you can start working with the next period.
It is possible to add data to a period that is not yet started, such as an external appendix, however you cannot add amounts.
If you need to add more information to a period that is already locked, it can be unlocked temporarily. The next period will then be paused, so that you only work in one period at a time. You can add external appendices and add accounts to appendices in a paused period, but you cannot add amounts.
You can always view locked periods. If a period is locked, the checks will not be run for this period, so the results of the checks will remain the same.
