Set up General ledger year-end processes (Public sector)

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

At the end of a fiscal year, you must generate closing transactions and prepare your accounts for the next fiscal year. You can select accounts by fund for year-end closing and also close to different accounts. For example, you can close nominal accounts associated with governmental funds to fund balance, and close nominal accounts associated with proprietary funds to retained earnings. You can also set up year-end closing for all funds and non-funds. Non-funds do not have a fund dimension in the account structure. For more information about year-end closing, see Lista de comprobación del cierre del año fiscal.

Nota

This process is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected.

You can set up multiple closing periods to segregate different types of closing entries, such as general year-end closing and audit adjustments.

If you are in the public sector and are using general budget reservations, see also Finalize a general budget reservation (Public sector) and Carry forward general budget reservation information to a new fiscal year (Public sector).

Nota

General budget reservations are available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected and if Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Cumulative Update 8 is installed with the following hotfix: KB3047235
