Post Adjusting Entries

Use the Year-End Post Adjusting Entries routine to update the Account Period Balances from the journal entry transactions created during Year-End Adjusting Entries Maintenance for the closing Period (Period 14).  Entries are posted to the specified year in history (usually the previous closed year).  The post updates the Ending Balance in the history year and the Beginning Balance in the current year.  When the routine finishes, the post report prints the totals and any errors that occurred.
