Hi All, Can someone tell me what is the difference between Preclosing and closing inventory?
We are trying to close inventory for current period, the item group use is FIFO. When we run inventory closing we can see the errors in voucher.
But when we are running the Pre closing we only see empty voucher.
Hi Dynamicsuser365,
Take a look at existing thread and see if that helps you provide some inputs.

Hi Sathish thank you for the response is this the reason why we are seeing empty vouchers when running pre closing?
Good Morning Dynamicsuser365,
To answer your first question about preclosing:
One of the major reasons for introducing this were performance considerations to make the inventory close run faster.
For your second question:
Preclosing affects non-financial transfers, such as transfer orders that typically do not create a voucher.
If you run the subsequent 'normal' inventory close, you should see a voucher being created.
Best regards,
Ludwig
Its to reduce the number of settlement records in cost calculations .e.g moving stock from location A to Location B does not change its value.
So such transactions can be omitted from the closing calculation, which is why there is no voucher, and is also why the actual close then runs faster.
Has your question been answered in regards to this functionality?
Is there anything else the community can help you with for this specific question?
