Accounting EOY: Starting new year transactions when the audit year-end is incomplete

Managing Year-End Period Limits and Moving Transactions Beyond Period 18

Updated this week

Follow the below steps to resolve this:

  1. Create a new company and restore the backup data for the current financial year into the new database.

  2. Once the restore is complete, run Year-End Processing (Y.E.P) for the new company.

  3. Go to Housekeeping and select Year-End Processing.

  4. Enter your password to execute the process.

  5. After the Y.E.P process is completed:

    • Go to Administration

    • Open Administrative Tools

    • Select Tools

    • Enable the following options:

      • Set Opening Balance to 0

      • Set Last Year Figure to 0

      • Unlock Opening Balance

      • Unlock Last Year Figure

  6. This allows the opening balances to be edited later, once the Year-End Audit is completed and the closing balances are finalized.

  7. You may continue entering current-year transactions as usual. After Y.E.P, periods 13 to 18 will be reset back to periods 1 to 6.

  8. Once the audit is completed:

    • Enter the opening balance for the current year in the new company

    • Record any adjustment entries for the previous year in last year’s database directory

Note: Please be informed that you can key in data up to 18 periods, hence you may continue without doing the year-end right after period 12.
