Freeze Accounting Entries
Introduction
Once you go live on ERPNext (if you are doing it for the first time or migrating from another system), you must ensure that no accounting entries are posted before your cutover date.
Cutover Date = The date when ERPNext becomes the master application for posting and processing business transactions.
To ensure the integrity of your accounting data, ERPNext has a Freeze Accounting Entries feature.
