Closing Inventory Period
Oracle Inventory uses accounting periods to group material transactions and work in process transactions for accounting purposes. So normally these deatils are grouped for a month and the transaction details are posted to GL.
An automatic general ledger transfer is processed when you close an accounting period.
A.      Pending transactions
Before closing the inventory transactions make sure all pending transactions are resolved.
Resolution Required On the pending transactions window it shows number of transactions with resolution required
It displays the number of unprocessed material transactions, uncosted material transactions, and pending WIP costing transactions existing in this period. These must be resolved before the period is closed.
Resolution Recommended Displays the number of pending receiving transactions,
pending material transactions, and pending shop floor move transactions existing in this period. You can close the accounting period; however, after it is closed these transactions cannot be processed.
B.      Close a open/error status period
You can close the accounting period for a month with the status of Open or Error.

Pending transactions in detail
1.       Pending receiving transactions
Unprocessed receiving transactions with table RCV_TRANSACTIONS_ INTERFACE
These transactions include purchase order receipts internal order receipts and returns for inventory
If you close the period, these transactions cannot be processed because they have a transaction date for a closed period 

2.      Unprocessed material transactions
Unprocessed material transactions with the table MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP If you have unprocessed inventory transactions you will not able to close the period and is so because it has a transaction date for a closed period.You can look in details by inventory super user N> Transactions ->Pending transactions 
3.     Pending transactions
Unprocessed material transactions in the MTL_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE table 
If you close the period, these transactions cannot be processed because they have a transaction date for a closed period 
4.     Uncosted material transactions
Material transactions in the MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS table with no accounting entries (Standard Costing) and no accounting entries and no costs (Average Costing). You are unable to close the period with this condition. 
5.     Pending move transactions
Unprocessed shop floor move transactions in the WIP_MOVE_TXN_INTERFACE table.
You are unable to close the period with this condition. 
6.     Pending WIP costing transactions
Unprocessed resource and overhead accounting transactions in the WIP_COST_TXN_INTERFACE table. You are unable to close the period with this condition.
Once you are sure that you are ready to close the inventory period you can come back to the main inventory accounting periods form and click change status button in and select Close and be sure that INVENTORY PERIOD CLOSED CANNOT BE REOPENED (This is a irreversible process).
