Initialising a New Year

The year has to be initialised before postings can be made to those periods.

Attempting to post to a year that is not yet initialised will warn 'Posting date is beyond range - Initialise next year'. If the Ledger system setting SaveErroredSets is ticked, the form will activate and an errored journal will be created.

Steps

1. General Ledger Configuration Setup
2. Click Add Year and select the Retained Earnings account from the search window
3. Type in the relevant period descriptions
4. Save changes and the year can now be posted to
