How do I close year-end in General Ledger?

Closing the year-end is a step in the Year-end Checklist.

When you are done with the last month of the year, your ready to close the year end.  Closing the year-end is a "soft close", which means Connect will add one year of future dates and you can still enter transactions in the closed year.  After you've entered the audit entries and all of the work in the closed year is finished, it's time to close period. Running the Close Period routine is a "hard close" and you won't be able to make any changes to the periods up to and including the closed period.

- Go to General Ledger.

- Go to Organization | Close Period under the Miscellaneous section.
