Year-End Post Journal Entries

Tips:

For information about the sequence of running the Year-End procedure, refer to the General Ledger Runbook.
The post report is also known as the Post Journal EntriesReport and the Closing Post Report.
Do not confuse this post with the other post routines:
Post Journal Entries: For daily, weekly, monthly postings. Use this when closing a Period.
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.
Retain the post report for an audit trail.
If you see the following message, then you may have already run the post or you are running it out of sequence. If you need additional help, contact NDS Technical Support.
Before running this routine, print the Year-End Journal Listing and confirm that every expense account is cleared and closed.
If necessary, you can re-run the post for a Period without duplicating the updates of the previously posted journal entry transactions. However, NDS Technical Support may first need to reset the Year-End flag.
For more information about running reports, see Print View.
The post report is available in the following formats:
80-Column Page Width: Set during System Parameters at the Print tab.
