Fiscal year closing using the function "Optimize year-end close"

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Anika 12 
Hello everyone,
we have enabled the function "Optimize year-end close" and we closed the year. We want to use this function because without it the closing took a very long time (we have many dimensions and transactions) and the process was often interrupted.

The generated attachment is correct, and the balances also seem correct. But we are concerned about the status of the process (Rebuild balances) , even though the preview shows that it was successful. Has anyone had a similar situation or have an idea what it could be?
 
 
best regards and have a nice evening

    In a production environment, the shutdown resulted in a "failed" status, not a "rebuild balances" status. In the batch job history I see that all steps were successful - except "rebuild balances".
     
    Even though the documentation indicates that if an attachment has been created, there is no need to repeat the closing process (only the balances need to be rebuilt), this is disturbing.

    Rebuild balances refers to recreating the balances at the Financial dimension level.  As Hana stated, this ensures data integrity within financial dimensions.  The same process is available if you look at Financial dimensions sets.

    Hi,
    After using the "Optimize year-end close" function, the system may automatically perform the balance rebuild process to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the financial data. In this case, it is normal for the process status to display "Rebuild Balance".
    And you can view this document: Year-end close missing opening balances - Dynamics 365 Finance | Microsoft Learn   it mentioned that you can review the results of the year-end close batch job to see if the Rebuild balances step completed successfully.
    Best Regards,
    Hana
