Posting the Year End Closing Entry

After you use the Close Income Statement batch job to generate the year-end closing entry or entries, you must open the journal you specified in the batch job, and then review and post the entries.

  1. Open the General Journal window.

  2. In the Batch Name field, click the AssistButton and select the batch that contains the closing entries.

  3. Review the entries.

  4. Click the Posting button and select Post.

  5. In the posting confirmation window, click Yes.

If an error is detected, an error message is displayed. If the posting is successful, the system removes the posted entries from the journal.

Once posted, an entry is posted to each income statement account so that its balance becomes zero and the year's result is transferred to the balance sheet.
