Period-end close and journal review
None of the held texts sets a fixed period on this consumer; every row below reads no period set by the text. Paste one job that feeds this consumer, for example month_end_close_pack, weekly, and the register reads its period against the clocks below, names the gap in hours, and carries the question for its owner.
Matched on the job name or the consumer column by these words: period close, month end, period end, journal, close checklist, closing, month-end close.
