Enquiry for Locking Periods

I have a question regarding the locking of prior periods. Is there / Will there be a way to lock the previous period for instance when the BAS has been processed?

At present, BAS is prepared on the 21st of the month and the previous month would normally be closed (ex. MYOB user) and nothing would change the figures. At present even being able to lock 30 days before doesn't stop people from entering items without authorisation. 30 days only works if you are on the 30th of the next month. If you are on the 5th of July you can only lock from 5 June and prior so this doesn't help.

This is a quite a concerning problem for them here with so many users.

Thank you for your time.

Go into the GL, then from main menu select Maintenance|Set Accounting Period, and untick "Open" on the period you want to close.
