Year-End Post Journal Entries: For posting journal entries created by the Clear and Close Accounts routine during the year-end procedure. The post runs before the Post Adjusting Entries routine.
Post Adjusting Entries: For posting adjusting journal entries created during Year-End Adjusting Entries Maintenance. You can use this to post adjusting transactions to a year that has already been closed.
For information about the sequence of running closing procedures, refer to the General Ledger Runbook.
The post report is available in the following formats:
