Using Wallet Balance Periods

Wallet Balance Periods represent the periods of time during which the balance of each Wallet and its Wallet Allotments was calculated. As a result, the opening balance of each Wallet is calculated based on the Wallet Transactions which were generated within that period's time frame plus the balance brought forward from previous Wallet Balance Periods. Wallet Balance Periods can be either 'Open' or 'Closed'. However, only one Wallet Balance Period can be 'Open' at a time and it will always be the latest one. Each Wallet Balance Period's duration is Monthly.

The first Wallet Balance Period is automatically created by the system. The following Wallet Balance Periods are created once the current Wallet Balance Period is closed (via Closing Period process). Once a Wallet Balance Period is closed it cannot be reopened and no more Wallet Transactions can be posted against it, as Wallet Transactions can only be posted against 'Open' Wallet Balance Periods and can only be related to a single Wallet Balance Period.
