Mark the company or companies for which the period roll-over is to be made. Then, click OK. Note: If a company is performing a roll-over during this process, then you will not see the company on this panel.

If Interactive process in Work with IBS user profiles is set to YES for your user id and you press F2, then you will lock the display until the period roll-over has been completed.
