IC190 - Closing

Run this program to close out the current inventory period. This program
captures period end balances and calculates the average stock-on-hand quantity
for each Item Location record. Period end balances are used for analysis
purposes on the following inventory reports:

IC152 (Movement Analysis - GMROI)
IC224 (Gross Margin Return on Investment)
IC134 (Inventory Turnover)
IC135 (Inventory Turnover by Issues)

This program does not close the general ledger period for inventory. If you
are using subsystem control for the Inventory Control system, you must run
IC199 (Subsystem Close) to close the subsystem period before the general
ledger period can be closed in the General Ledger system.

Important: Before running this program, make sure you release all transaction
documents for the period and run IC130 (General Ledger Interface). Also, if
you are closing the last period of the year, this program requires you to set
up period end dates for new year.
