A MAS 90/200 frequently asked question? When processing year-end, in which order should the modules be closed? Year-end processing is a vitally important step in keeping your data healthy. Many modules maintain buckets of data by year (year-to-date, prior-year, etc.). These data receptacles are reinitialized during year-end processing. Lots of other housekeeping is performed during year-end processing as well. For example, in General Ledger, income and expense account balances are cleared and net profit is posted to the Retained Earnings account. Year end is a busy time for most businesses, and frequently internal accounting is put on a back burner. Nevertheless, do not neglect this procedure, as its delay can have far-reaching impact on your data. With a little planning, information and a minor time commitment, year-end processing can proceed smoothly. Closing Order - It's Important! Modules should be processed or closed in the following order: Bill of Materials Work Order Bar Code Purchase Order Sales Order Inventory MRP TimeCard Magnetic Media Payroll Accounts Receivable Accounts Payable Job Cost General Ledger If you are running modules not on this list, for example e-Business Manager, or a third party product, there may be special considerations involved in year-end closing. Give us a call and we'll advise you on the best procedure for closing your Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 software.
