Generating the Sample Period End Playbook Templates

You can generate the sample period end playbook templates and associated task templates from the Sample Period End Templates in-app prompt.

To generate the sample period end playbook templates and associated task templates:

  1. In the App Launcher, search for and click Accounting.
  2. Navigate to the Accounting Playbook Templates page.
  3. When the Sample Period End Templates in-app prompt displays, click Create. You can access the new sample period end playbook templates and task templates from the Navigation section.

If the in-app prompt does not display, open the Accounting Playbook Template page and check if the templates have already been generated. For more information, see Creating Accounting Playbook Templates.

If the templates have not been generated and the in-app prompt does not display, you might need to activate the Period End Playbook Template Creation prompt in your org. For more information, see Managing Certinia In-App Guidance or contact your administrator.

Note:

If you have already generated the playbook templates but want to generate them again, you must rename the existing ones first.
