<h2>Period close — month-end & year-end</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>Financial → Period Close</strong> is a guided wizard that walks you through closing an accounting
|
||||
period for the fixed-asset subledger. It reviews the period's activity, <strong>posts the journal entries the
|
||||
close generates into the general ledger</strong>, reconciles the Fixed Asset Register to the GL, and then
|
||||
<strong>locks the period</strong> so it can't be changed after the fact. Every action is recorded in
|
||||
<a href="#" @click.prevent="select('admin')">Activity & Audit Trail</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Scope: which book, which period</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A close runs against <strong>one book</strong> — pick it at the top of the screen; it defaults to your
|
||||
<strong>primary book</strong> (the one that feeds the financial GL). Run a separate close for each book you
|
||||
maintain (for example, close GAAP for the financial GL; tax books are reviewed at year-end).</li>
|
||||
<li>Choose <strong>Month</strong> (a fiscal year + month) or <strong>Year</strong> (a full fiscal year), then
|
||||
<strong>Start / Resume</strong>. A close in progress is saved, so you can leave and come back to it. The
|
||||
<strong>Recent closes</strong> list shows every period with its status and a 🔒 lock badge.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>The month-end checklist</h3>
|
||||
<p>Each step shows the live data for the period and lets you act, then mark it done:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Record additions</strong> — review capital purchases placed in service in the period. Any asset
|
||||
below your <strong>capitalization threshold</strong> is flagged so you can confirm it belongs on the register.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Record disposals</strong> — review assets sold, scrapped, or retired in the period (cost,
|
||||
accumulated depreciation, gain/loss). You can <strong>post the disposal journal entries</strong> here.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Capitalize WIP</strong> — review Construction-in-progress assets and <strong>capitalize</strong>
|
||||
completed ones, which moves them into service and begins depreciation.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Process & post depreciation</strong> — compute the period's depreciation and <strong>post it to
|
||||
the GL</strong>, allocated by department / cost center. Fully-depreciated assets that would still compute
|
||||
depreciation are flagged for review.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check for impairments</strong> — review flagged assets and record any impairment loss (from the
|
||||
asset's Adjustments tab).</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reconcile subledger to GL</strong> — compare the register to the GL control accounts and clear or
|
||||
acknowledge any variance (see below). <em>Required to finalize.</em></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Generate reports</strong> — run and file the Fixed Asset Register, Depreciation Summary, and
|
||||
Additions / Disposals reports for your records.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Finalize & lock</strong> — freeze the period.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>What gets posted to the GL</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The close writes <strong>real, balanced journal entries</strong> into the stored GL layer (visible under
|
||||
<a href="#" @click.prevent="select('books')">Books → GL and Journals</a>). The accounts come from your
|
||||
<strong>GL posting defaults</strong> (per-asset overrides win where set):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<table class="manual-table">
|
||||
<thead><tr><th>Event</th><th>Debit</th><th>Credit</th></tr></thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr><td>Period depreciation (by department)</td><td>Depreciation Expense</td><td>Accumulated Depreciation</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>Capitalize WIP</td><td>Fixed Asset cost</td><td>Construction-in-progress (CWIP)</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>Disposal</td><td>Accum. depreciation + Proceeds (+ Loss)</td><td>Asset cost (+ Gain)</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td>Year-end roll-forward</td><td>Retained Earnings</td><td>Depreciation Expense</td></tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
<v-alert type="info" variant="tonal" density="comfortable" class="manual-callout">
|
||||
Every close posting is <strong>tagged to its period</strong>, which makes posting <strong>idempotent</strong>:
|
||||
re-running a step (for example, re-posting depreciation after a correction) replaces the prior entries rather
|
||||
than duplicating them. Manage the accounts these entries use in
|
||||
<a href="#" @click.prevent="select('books')">Books → GL and Journals → Chart of accounts</a> (the
|
||||
<strong>posting defaults</strong>: asset cost, accumulated depreciation, depreciation expense, CWIP, gain/loss,
|
||||
proceeds clearing, and retained earnings).
|
||||
</v-alert>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Reconciling the subledger to the GL</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <strong>Reconcile</strong> step compares the Fixed Asset Register (the subledger) to the GL
|
||||
control-account balances — <strong>cost</strong>, <strong>accumulated depreciation</strong>, and
|
||||
<strong>net book value</strong> — and shows the variance per account. A green <em>Balanced</em> badge means
|
||||
they agree; otherwise the variance is shown so you can clear it (post an adjusting entry) or
|
||||
<strong>acknowledge</strong> it and finalize anyway.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<v-alert type="info" variant="tonal" density="comfortable" class="manual-callout">
|
||||
When you <em>first</em> adopt closes, the GL won't yet hold the asset's full history, so the register
|
||||
(life-to-date) and the GL (only what's been posted) will differ — that opening variance is expected. Post an
|
||||
opening-balance entry to clear it, or acknowledge it. Once you run closes forward period over period, the two
|
||||
stay in step.
|
||||
</v-alert>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Finalizing & the period lock</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>Finalize & lock</strong> becomes available once the required steps are done and the reconciliation
|
||||
has been run. Finalizing snapshots the period's totals and sets the period to <strong>Closed</strong>. A
|
||||
closed period is <strong>locked</strong>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Any change whose effective date falls inside the closed period is <strong>rejected</strong> — including
|
||||
<strong>GL journal entries</strong> (for that book), and <strong>disposals, impairments, and asset
|
||||
financial-date / cost edits</strong> (gated by the <strong>primary</strong> book's locked periods, since
|
||||
that book is the subledger that feeds the GL).</li>
|
||||
<li>Edits to non-financial fields (location, custodian, notes, and so on) are <strong>not</strong> blocked.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Year-end close</h3>
|
||||
<p>The year-end checklist includes everything above, plus:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Final month-end close</strong> — confirm the final month is closed and its depreciation posted.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Physical inventory</strong> — confirm you've verified high-value / mobile assets still exist.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Update tax books</strong> — recompute tax depreciation (MACRS / §179) and review book-vs-tax
|
||||
differences.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Roll-forward</strong> — finalizing a year close automatically posts the <strong>roll-forward</strong>
|
||||
that clears the year's depreciation expense into <strong>Retained Earnings</strong> and locks the year.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Reopening a closed period</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you must correct a closed period, use <strong>Reopen</strong> (requires the close permission). Reopening
|
||||
<strong>reverses all of that close's posted entries</strong>, returns the period to <em>in progress</em>,
|
||||
and unlocks it so corrections can be made — then you re-run and finalize again. The reopen, the reversed
|
||||
entries, and the re-close are all audited.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<v-alert type="warning" variant="tonal" density="comfortable" class="manual-callout">
|
||||
Running the close needs the <strong>“Run month-end / year-end close & reopen periods”</strong> capability
|
||||
(included in the Finance role). Because closing posts to the GL and locks the books, keep this permission to
|
||||
the people responsible for the close.
