Improved company status handling with company journals

In previous versions of IBM Cognos Controller the status of companies was changed from Ready to Processing when a company journal was entered. Reporters who submitted their figures and set the company status to Ready had to contact the administrator to unlock and change the status.

As of Controller 10.1.1, changes to company journals that do not belong to the defined Closing Version in the General Configuration window will not affect the status of a company. Ready marked companies remain Ready.

If you are a group controller, then you can to enter company journals without changing the status. The status of the group will change to Processing to indicate that there is a change.
