| Automatic | Aera closes the period automatically at a scheduled time, normally close to midnight. Requests to close a period (AcquirerSyncronisation) are declined. Use PreviousReconciliation to get totals |
| On demand | Your ECR closes the period, and starts a new one, with AcquirerSyncronisation |
Ask your Aera contact which setup a merchant has.
