Closing a Year & Closing the Last Year Adjustment Period

Caroline Buckland Updated by Caroline Buckland

The process

When all periods have been closed, up to period 12, you now need to close the year and open up the adjustment period (P13). Once all adjustments have been made and inserted into P13, you then need to close last years adjustment period.

We recommend that you check the Daily Checks menu before closing any system periods. In particular, check System Dashboard for any batches not fully processed as this could result in postings to an incorrect period. The Task Queue Controller should also be checked for any failed or task running.

For more information on the Daily Checks please review the reconciliation section.
