Test periods, budgets, reporting, and confirm posting results. Use this checklist after the [General Ledger Part 2](/bevica-select/bevica_select_training/bevica_select_training_-_general_ledger_part_2.md) training. It helps you prove you can control periods, close the month, and produce finance reporting. ### Before you start You need: * Access to Bevica Select (ideally a test company) * [Introduction to Business Central](/bevica-select/bevica_select_training/bevica_select_training_-_introduction_to_business_central.md) * [General Ledger Part 1](/bevica-select/bevica_select_training/bevica_select_training_-_general_ledger_part_1.md) * [General Ledger Part 2](/bevica-select/bevica_select_training/bevica_select_training_-_general_ledger_part_2.md) Recommended: * Run month-end tests with the finance super user. * Use a realistic posting date range and document mix. ### Completion criteria (what “done” looks like) You’re done when: * You can control who can post to which periods. * You can complete core month-end checks and reconciliations. * You can produce and explain core management reports. * You can close a year and recover cleanly from late postings. ### Month end #### Control posting periods **Do** 1.
