Period Close Sequence

下图为Oracle EBS关闭期间的时候，各个模块的相互依赖的关系，顺着箭头逐步关闭各模块的期间。比如，Order Management会直接影响应收(Receivables)模块，所以OM模块应先于应收模块关闭。如果图中某个模块没有使用，则可以跳过它，进入下一个模块。

每个特定模块期间中,Transactions的账户信息在关闭时最终都会Transfer to General Ledger.

所以期间关闭基本是下边这个流程：

1. Order Management / Shipping

2. Cash Management / Treasury

3. Payables

4. Receivables

5. Purchasing

6. Inventory / Costing

7. Projects

8. Assets

9. General Ledger
