For the VROOZI Integration, we will be importing vouchers into ERP using the existing logic for assigning accounting periods. If we can find the accounting period for the invoice date we'll assign it there, if not we will find the next available open period for that company and division. This is working well, but this is causing a scenario at Cal-Maine where CONNECT users will import vouchers into a period that is open, but is also in the process of being balanced and closed out. 

To solve this, we've added a configuration in CONNECT that will allow users to define when to close accounting periods to connect. The period may still be open in ERP while it is being closed out, but CONNECT will already treat it as closed and look for the next available period.
