2. In the To field, select a period from the list of values and choose OK.
Similarly, you can also change the period for a journal from the Journals window.
6. Enter the new batch Period. If the original creation date of your journal entry batch is within the new period, GL assigns the creation date as the new Effective Date. And, if the creation date of your journal entry batch is not in the same period as the new batch period, GL assigns either the first or last day of the new period as the new Effective Date, depending on which date is closer to the creation date.
