Then you accidentally close the wrong tab and didn't pay any attention to the link where you found the information? This can be very time consuming but there is a great way to find out all of the links you opened in one particular day or week. There are a couple of different ways to display the search history.
1) Open Internet Explorer --> Press CTRL+SHIFT+H
2) Open Internet Explorer --> Click on Tools --> Click on Toolbars --> Select History
There will be a pane on the left side of your screen that will allow you to select the history to search for today, each day of the current week, last week, 2 and 3 weeks ago. You can also Click on the down arrow to select to further define the search by date, by site visited, by most visited sites or by order visited today.

By Joanne Simmons
Whenever we close the O/E Daily Sales Journal and Update, we get a message that the Accounts Receivable, Inventory or Sales Analysis modules have not been closed for the proper month and displays the last date closed. What does this mean?
Answer:
The message is letting you know that those modules were not closed in the same month with the same month-end date. TOP recommends that you close all three modules with the same date so the messages do not display. Even if you do not use the Inventory or Sales Analysis modules, you should still run the End-Of-Month processing for each module to keep the closing dates in 'sync'.
