Why lock a month
Once the month is done, you do not want old numbers changing by accident. Locking keeps the totals exactly as they were, so the history you look back on is reliable.
What happens when you close
Press Close this month, check the month name, and enter the date your salary was received. The month then shows as Closed, and nothing in it can be changed. The next month opens for new bills and expenses.
- Close with the salary date
- A closed month cannot be changed
- The next month opens automatically
- History stays available to review
