INTRODUCTION

This article describes the effects of performing the year-end closing procedure in Receivables Management in Microsoft Dynamics GP after December 31.

MORE INFORMATION

When you post transactions in Microsoft Dynamics GP, the system automatically posts to the correct fiscal year and calendar year according to the dates of the transactions. You can view the amounts of the transactions in the Customer Summary window. To do this, follow these steps:
1. On the Cards menu, click Sales , and then click Summary .
2. Click a customer.
3. Click either Fiscal Year or Calendar Year , and then type the appropriate year or period in the field.
4. Click Calculate .

Notice that the year-end closing routine has not changed because of the Date Sensitive enhancement. Closing the Fiscal Year will affect the Amounts Since Last Close view within the Customer Summary window. To open this window, click Sales on the Cards menu, and then click Summary .

The Date Sensitive enhancement provides the following new options for viewing the data by date:

Three summary views in the Customer Summary window:

• Amounts Since Last Close

• Fiscal Year

• Calendar Year

 

• Viewing enhancements in the RM Sales Analysis window.

• Viewing enhancements in the RM Period Sales Analysis window.

• The Customer Period Summary window. To open this window, click Sales on the Cards menu, click Summary , and then click History .
