IMPROVE BALANCING SUBLEDGERS TO GENERAL LEDGER
 
A great way to improve balancing the general ledger to Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable is to prevent users from making journal entries to these accounts. 
  •   Select an account using Cards>Financial>Account.
  • Select the control account number (accounts payable or accounts receivable).
  • Uncheck the Allow Account Entry box.
  • Save.
After this change, only transactions posted to the subsidiary ledger will post to that account.

  
YEAR END CLOSING INSTRUCTIONS
 
IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU CLOSE ANYTHING, MAKE A BACKUP TO KEEP PERMANENTLY.  NOT HAVING A FULL AND VALID BACKUP WILL PUT YOU AT RISK OF DATA LOSS. Also be sure you have adequate disk space on the server.

If you haven't closed the year in the following modules, here are links to Microsoft KnowledgeBase year-end close articles. We ask that you review these carefully before you start your closing procedures.
 
 
You will find documentation on Microsoft Customer Source complete and very helpful.  If you have any questions, please call Microsoft at (800) 456-0025 and open a support incident, or call our office at (985) 892-2710.
