12-Steps For Year-End Procedures
Here are 12 steps you can follow.
© Net@Work
Step 1: Create the New Fiscal Year
Create the new fiscal calendar for the new year. This allows you to create entries in the new year.
Go to Common Services/Fiscal Calendar to add the new year. Ensure that the Active checkbox is marked.
Tip: This should be done late in the fiscal year – 2 months prior to year end.
Ex. For companies with December 31 year end, this can be done in October or November.

Step 2: Verify GL Options Information
Go to GL Options/Posting tab to verify that current fiscal year is set to the prior year. For example, if you are setting new fiscal year to 2013; current fiscal year on this screen should show as 2012
Define the number of years to keep history by fiscal set and transaction detail.
