Month-end. Period on hold in D365?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,438

Hi All, 

I can't find the option to put the period on hold in D365

General ledger > Ledger setup > Ledger> Ledger calendar.   Where did this feature "Open" and "On hold" move to?  Thanks

    There is a Period status field on the screen shot. You should be able to update that field.

    Thank you, Pranav!

    Also, the Opening transactions.  In AX 2012, it was under Periodic>Fiscal year close> Opening transaction.  Where can I find the Opening transaction in D365?  Thanks.

    Hi Kim,

    For the period on hold functionality please check the two buttons right above the grid that shows the different legal entities.

    About the opening transactions, please check the menu items in GL in the period close section. There should be one available that has the very same function as in Ax2012. Only the name of the menu item and the position where to find it has changed. If you cannot quickly identify it then use the search function for the D365 functionalities.

    Best regards

    The menu item is Year end close.

    As Ludwig mentioned, the names are changed in D365 F&O. But I also like the new feature, you can define the year end Retained earning account and processing at one place itself.

    Hi Pranav,

    How do you get the retain earning post to the new month?  I ran Year end close  The retain earning posted to 1/1/2019 when I'm trying to close March 2018's book.  Thanks

    Hello Kim,

    The retained earnings are only posted once at the end of your fiscal period.

    Do you need / expect a monthly posting?

    Best regards

    Humm.  I would expect once you close the book for each month, you close P&L for that month = retain earning.  Then you bring this retain earning + current retain earning =new retain earning.  You bring this new retain earning to the new month.  You don't see this practice from your end?  Thanks

    Hello Kim,

    The retained earning posting is created only once a year not on a monthly basis unless you define each month as a separate financial 'year'.

    I have not seen somebody applying such an approach so far.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
