# Close Day for AAM

Many newspapers impose a cutoff date on AAM circulation figures. After a date is “closed”, no transactions can be entered that will affect AAM circulation figures for that date (for example, no returns or draw adjustments may be entered).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes:**

* *You may not close a day for which a publishing run is not complete.*
* *You must close the publishing dates for AAM in order to purge AAM history.*
  {% endhint %}

#### To close a date for AAM reporting:

* Select Close Day For AAM from the Utilities menu to display the Close Day for AAM screen.<br>

* Specify the product and cutoff date for closing AAM.<br>

  <table><thead><tr><th width="145">Field</th><th width="92">Type</th><th>What to enter</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>PRODUCT</td><td>setup</td><td>Enter the product for which the day should be closed for AAM reporting purposes.</td></tr><tr><td>CLOSE DATE</td><td>date</td><td>Enter the cutoff date for closing AAM. For example, if you enter 3/11/10 as the close date, all dates through 3/11/10 will be closed; i.e., Circulation will not allow you to enter returns or draw adjustments for any day up to and including this date, or to otherwise affect AAM history before this date.</td></tr></tbody></table>
