Review all windows affected by reopening

Understand why later completed periods on the same account reopen together.

Updated 2026-11-11

Reopening a completed statement window also reopens later completed windows on the same account identified by the preview. Review that full set before confirming, because the action is broader than the single period currently selected.

  1. Choose Review reopening for the completed period.
  2. Select Reopen statement windows and wait for Affected statement windows to load.
  3. Read every listed date range, explain the reason, and confirm only when the complete scope is appropriate.

Later balances can depend on earlier review

A correction to an earlier window can affect confidence in subsequent completed periods. The preview makes those consequences visible while preserving their existing source history.

Do not assume only the visible month will change. If the list is unexpected, stop and inspect the account and selected starting period before proceeding. The preview must be current and verified, so a changed or incomplete plan requires another refresh. After reopening, review the affected windows and complete them again only after their evidence and activity meet current requirements. Reopening is not deletion of the statements or journal history, and it does not automatically apply the underlying accounting correction that motivated the action.
