Understanding Tasks for Closing a Fiscal Year

In France, in addition to performing the tasks to close a fiscal year, businesses must run the General Journal report in final mode to perform a final annual close. In final mode, the system includes records that have been flagged by the Trial Balance report to indicate that they have been printed in final mode. Flagging the records prevents the records from being printed again in final mode. An error message is printed on the report if any records have been printed in a previous final mode report. The word Final is printed on every page of a report that is run in final mode.
