In the Post Year End Closeout Entries panel, you can manually post ledger closeout entries at year end. Submitting this panel creates ledger postings that move the ledger account balances for the Transfer source accounts to the target account designated in the DB Ledger Transfers Editor page. The beginning balance in the Income, Expense, and Gain/Loss accounts is zero for the first day of the next fiscal year. The system assigns ledger entries an Accounting Date equal to the first day of the next fiscal year. 

To post year end closeout entries: 

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Ledger > Year End Processing > Post Year End Closeout Entries.
    You see the Post Year End Closeout Entries panel.

  2. Complete the options in the Post Year End Closeout Entries panel. 
    You can post entries for one or for all accounting bases for a specified entity or composite. 

  3. Click Submit.
