Protecting Prior Month Information
In the GMS Accounting Software there is an option to prevent editing, creating, or deleting of any transaction for a prior period that has been processed through Month End Processing.
Once a month has been “closed” and the financial reports reviewed and/or approved, you may want to prevent any type of changes to this financial information, especially if the month end financials has been used to generate external reports to funding sources or any governing boards.
This option can be found Under Tools\User Set Up. At the user setup screen, you will see a tab called Month End Period. If you are the person responsible for making the decision that a particular month end was final and no changes should be made you can do the following.
- Click on the Month End Tab
- Click Edit
- Choose the posting period from the drop-down box for the month-end posting date for which no changes should be made to the financial information.
- Click Save
For example, if the Posting Period 03/31/2023 is chosen the software will prevent users from creating, editing, or deleting any batch with a posting period of 03/31/2023 or earlier.
GMS strongly suggests that access to this feature be limited to users who are responsible for the financial processing and reporting. If changes needed to be made to a prior period only the users that have access to this option would be able to change the posting period to an earlier posting period. Note: If a change were to be made to access a prior posting period and changes made to the prior posting period, GMS recommends reprocessing each month end.
Maintaining Your Wellness in a Work Environment
In today’s fast-paced and stressful work environments, it’s more important than ever to prioritize your wellness. Your physical and mental health can greatly affect your work performance and overall happiness. Here are a few tips to help you stay healthy and happy at work:
- Get Enough Sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for your overall wellness. Lack of sleep can lead to increased stress levels, decreased productivity, and health problems. Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help you feel refreshed and focused at work.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for your physical health and can also help you stay alert and focused at work. Keep a water bottle at your desk and make sure to take sips throughout the day.
- Take Breaks: Taking short breaks throughout the day can help you recharge and stay productive. Get up and stretch, take a quick walk, or simply close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to help you relax.
- Eat Well: Eating a balanced diet can help you maintain your energy levels and focus throughout the day. Pack healthy snacks and meals to bring to work and try to avoid sugary and processed foods.
- Manage Stress: Stress can have a negative impact on your overall wellness, so it’s important to find ways to manage it. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help you stay calm and focused.
- Stay Active: Regular exercise is important for your physical and mental health. Try to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, whether it’s taking a walk during your lunch break or joining a gym near your workplace.
Taking care of your wellness is essential for your overall health and happiness. By prioritizing sleep, hydration, breaks, nutrition, stress management, and physical activity, you can feel your best and perform your best at work.
