    A little known fact is that the year can be closed and adjusting entries made into the immediate prior year easily.  This would allow financial reports for January, February, etc to be printed with correct balances short of the auditor's entries.  Then when the auditors provide their entries, those can be added.

    Note that if you close 2013, making adjusting entries to 2012 is more difficult.

    You need  a copy of our book Closing MS Dynamics GP that explains how to do this.

    Hi Asmaa,

    GP doesn't allow to have 2 sequence but what you can do is i.e. journal nos. from 1 to 10,000 for FY13 (even though you might not use all of it) and for FY 14 give the no. 10,001 as a start no for the auto generated.  So all your transactions on FY14 will be on this sequence and when you post entries in FY13 if it is few entries change the journal no. manually by typing it from the range.  If you wanted to post lot of transactions on FY13 I would change back nos. to the previous sequence and post all entries and change it back to the sequence of FY14.  The problem will be if the users post FY13 and FY14 simultaneously this wont work.  

    thanks

    i realy want to start new numbering from fy 14 but  i think when i do entries in fy 13 it will take the sequence number of fy 2014 and i don't want that how can i use 2 different  sequence?

    thank you

  • RE: start in 2014 before 2013 end closing

    Hi Asmaa are you referring the the financial journal entry nos. if so you may start new numbering from fy14 and leave the  fy13 nos sequence different.  and when you post the fy13 entries use that sequence, hope this clarifies.  if you don't do any changes the sequence it will follow auto generated nos. and you will have new nos. for fy14 and when you post fy13 then it will follow the same sequence.

    thanks,

    babu

    thanks Babu but i read on Microsoft Support on the steps of  year end closing that is recommended to close the year befor posting transactions in the future period !

    thanks

    Yes Asmaa you can do that and starting 2014 doesn't affect year 2013 and closing can be done later.

    Thanks,

    Babu
