How to Post the Year-End Closing Entry

After you use the Close Income Statement batch job to generate the year-end closing entry or entries, you must open the journal you specified in the batch job, and then review and post the entries.

To post the year-end closing entry

Choose the icon, enter General Journal, and then choose the related link.
Review the entries.
Choose the Post action.
In the posting confirmation page, choose the Yes button.

If an error is detected, an error message is displayed. If the posting is successful, the system removes the posted entries from the journal.

Once posted, an entry is posted to each income statement account so that its balance becomes zero and the year's result is transferred to the balance sheet.
