Close a Fiscal Period

Overview

The system should provide the functionality to close the Open fiscal period. This functionality will not run any end-month closure process like ledgers, etc.  such end-month closure process will be described as part of the General Ledger module. The Closed Fiscal Period for Regular Transactions will avoid posting transactions to regular users against such Fiscal Period and will allow starting a new Fiscal Year.  Users with special access grants are the only ones who can post transactions against a Fiscal Period which is Closed for Regular Transactions.
When closing a fiscal period for regular transactions and there are still transaction that are not in final state the system will displays an error message "There are still transactions not in the final stage of the workflow"
All transactions that are not in final stage are to be carried over to the next open period.
