Year End Closing (Non-GL)

This allows you to reset the Year to Date, Last Year, and Year Before Last totals on the inventory, customer, vendor, and employee screens.  You can run this routine at the end of the calendar year or the end of your fiscal year.

This procedure requires exclusive use of the data files. This means that all other users on your network must exit the point of sale system before you begin. To see which computers are currently in the point of sale, go to Help User List from the main menu where you will see the list of computers currently logged in. The only computer that should be logged in should be the one you are at.


MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU RUN THIS ROUTINE. Once run, the changes to your files cannot be undone, except through restoring a backup of the files.

Select System Utilities Maintenance Year End Closing from the Main Menu.  

Select Ok to proceed or Cancel to abort and return to the menu.

A status bar will appear as each file is being worked on.  A box telling you that posting is complete will appear when the procedure is done.  Select Ok.

Do not run this routine more than once - doing so will mess up your data.  If a file should fail to update in the procedure, you should first restore your data from backup and then run this procedure again.
