Acumatica year-end closing is performed automatically when the last period of the financial year is closed. Accordingly, closing the last period of the financial year should be done only when the company is ready to close the General Ledger financial year. Period-end closing for the last period of the financial year must be completed in all other active modules before users can perform year-end closing in the General Ledger module.
The year-end closing may include the following stages:
During closing of the financial year, the balance of YTD Net Income account updates the Retained Earnings account, which accumulates the net income over years. After that, the balance of the YTD Net Income account is reset to zero for a new financial year. The balances of the balance sheet accounts are simply transferred into the new financial year, while balances of other accounts are reset to zeros.
Follow your company’s internal procedures to determine the prerequisites to closing a financial period. The following tasks might be required to be completed before performing a period close:
To close a period in the General Ledger, you must first close the period in the subledger modules that are being used. These include the following:
Optional: You can also close the period in subledgers along with the general ledger after performing period-end activities. Refer to your company’s internal procedures.
