| Description: | Closing the Fiscal Year in Purchasing updates the Year-to-Date, Last Year, and Life-to-Date information in the Vendor Credit Summary and Vendor Yearly Summary Inquiry windows. Closing the Calendar Year transfers Year-to-Date 1099 amounts to the Last Year balance in the Vendor Yearly Summary Inquiry window for all vendors. In preparation to close the Fiscal Year - 1. Post all transactions for the current Fiscal Year. If you need to enter transactions for a future period before closing the year, save the transactions in a batch but don't post it until after closing the Fiscal Year. 2. Backup the company database. 3. Print an Historical Aged Trial Balance as of the last day of the Fiscal Year. Keep this report for your records. 4. Close the Fiscal Year. If your Fiscal and Calendar Years coincide, choose the 'All' radio button in the Year-End Close window. If not, choose the 'Fiscal' radio button. Click 'Close Year'.

Close the sales tax periods for the year (optional). When you close the Tax Year, accumulated totals in the Tax Detail Maintenance window are cleared and transferred to last year's tax totals. (Note - you should close the Tax Year only after both Sales & Purchasing series are closed.)
