GL Month End Close

GL Month End Close closes subledgers and then the general ledger through a selected month so further posting to that period is blocked.

Before you start​

  • All transactions for the period are posted.
  • Job billing invoices that should hit the period are interfaced.
  • Pay periods that belong in the month are fully closed.

Steps — close subledgers​

  1. Open GL Month End Close.
  2. Select Close Subledgers.
  3. Set Close Through Month.
  4. Click Close Check to look for unposted batches, unprocessed job billing invoices, or open pay periods.
  5. If the check is clean, click OK to close subledgers.

Steps — close general ledger​

  1. Select Close General Ledger.
  2. Confirm Close Through Month.
  3. Click Close Check (no unposted GL Journal Transaction Entry batches).
  4. Click OK to close the GL.

Steps — reopen​

  1. Reopen the general ledger first.
  2. Then reopen subledgers (reverse of close order).

Notes​

  • AP unapproved invoices are informational on the close check—they do not block close by themselves.
  • Always close subledgers before the GL.
