Reversing a Year-End Close

Reversing a Year-End close removes the Year-End Close journal entry and re-opens the Fiscal Year. If changes need to be made to a closed year, the 'Year End Close' for that year can be reversed. Once the 'Year-End Reverse' has been run, the missing transactions/adjusting entries can be entered and posted, and the 'Year-End Close' process can be re-run. This process of reversing a year-end close and re-closing can be run as many times as needed.
