Close Income statement

Posted on by 166

Hi, 

In the close income statement request page, there is an options that it's not clear tom me how it works  :  

Post to retained Earnings account : details, balance 

in the tool tip there is a short explanation but it's not enough for me to understand what the different choice means.

Could anyone help me in undestranding how it works?

Many thanks

Alessandro

    BC follows your typical logic here:

    RE = RE_0 - NI

    RE = retained earnings

    RE_0 = beginning retained earnings

    NI = net income profit or loss

    So you are merely identifying which G/L Account will be used to house the value of profit.

    Dividends might be considered before posting too
