End-Of-Period Update (MCU890)

Use the program to close the current manufacturing control period. The End-of-Period Update should be run at the end of each manufacturing control period.

Using this program you can:

• Close out the current period in manufacturing control.
  
• Clear the month-to-date BOM item production history and formula production history.
  
• Roll year-to-date BOM item and formula production history to prior year, if it is the end of the year.
  

Prior to running this update, you should run the BOM and Formulation Period Production Reports (otherwise, month-to-date production history is lost).
