Zuora Revenue also provides optional application setups to facilitate month-end activities. For example, you can set up the soft freeze for period-close or period-open process. So that when the process is started, other users cannot bring in updates that might cause data discrepancies. Or you can create a period-close or period-open template to list the tasks that must be completed. So that the user who will close or open a period does not miss any required tasks.
