A few quick tips to remember:

• Make sure you run the end-of-period processing for the last period of the year in each module before running the year-end process.
• Make a complete BACKUP of all data files by product.
• Do the year-end processing for all other modules before doing year-end processing for General Ledger.
• Remember that you will be able to make a prior-year adjustment in G/L if you close G/L and then later need to enter additional adjustments (see Prior Year notes in G/L section). Many companies typically wait to close the year in G/L until their accountant makes year-end adjustments. If this will take several weeks or months you can go ahead and close G/L so you can work in the new year, then later make the prior-year adjustments when you have them. After you make a prior-year entry you can reprint any of your reports from the prior year.
