When doing month end, I often think it would be so much easier if the report dates all defaulted to the EOM dates I was preparing. This made me think, it would be really good if in the Preferences area, there was field that was the default date range for your reports e.g.. 01/09/2012 to 30/09/12 (say just under where it asks about locking periods etc). Then all reports would default to use this data range. You could change this date once EOM was started/completed, almost like a semi-month end rollover feature! (including locking of periods automatically!).
I think this would definitely save time getting reports to screen and automate locking periods. Does this interest anyone?
