Office and shop operations must be closed on system startup day

Office and shop operations must be closed on system startup day so that live activities are suspended while various transfers are made from your financial accounting system to DBA.  Startup day has no association with period start dates and therefore can take place on any calendar day you wish.  

A Saturday is an ideal startup day

Instead of closing the shop on a regular workday, the ideal startup day is a Saturday because many shops do not operate on weekends and users involved with startup tasks can work overtime for this one-off occasion.  Sunday remains an available option if any startup tasks fail to get completed on Saturday.  When the shop resumes operations on Monday, DBA should be fully activated and ready for use.
