Modifying General Ledger Closing Dates

There may be times when you need to modify a general ledger closing date, for example, if you closed a month too early. Essentially, by modifying the month end closing date, you are unclosing the closing!

When you close a month, you cannot date any transactions before that month. Also, you cannot add, edit or delete transactions during the closed month. However, when you unclose a month, the month’s transactions are once again available, and you can add, edit, and delete transactions for the month.

You cannot unclose a year.

1. Select G/L > Unclose Month. The Unclose Month window appears.
   
   

2. Change the date to when you last performed month-end closings.

3. Click Begin.
