Note

June of the prior fiscal year may be re-opened as long as it was not imported from Classic. For example, if you started live on the Redesign in May 2019 and you are now in August 2019, you may re-open June 2019 (as long as the rule to 'prevent opening of a previously closed posting period' is not enabled). However, if you started live on the Redesign in July 2019 and you are now in August 2019, you will not be able to open June 2019 because it was an imported period.
