Process

Used to process a Year-End Close. This icon is only visible after the Year-End Close validation has been run by clicking the 'Validate' icon. 

Clicking the 'Process' icon runs the Year-End Close. If successful, the message “The Year-End Close for [Fiscal Year] has been successfully completed.” will be displayed. If the process cannot be successfully completed, the message “The Year-End Close for [Fiscal Year] could not be completed.” will be displayed. 

Validate

Used to validate that a Year-End Closed can be processed. Clicking the 'Validate' icon validates the following:

  1. That a Retained Earnings Account is identified. If not, the message "Retained Earnings Account is required." will appear.
  2. That the Retained Earnings Account identified is both Active and assigned a Control Account Type of "Retained Earnings". If not, the message "The Retained Earnings Account must be an Active GL Account with a Control Account Type set to Retained Earnings." will appear.
  3. That the 'next' Fiscal Year is setup. If not, the message "You must add a new Fiscal Year before you can close the current year." will appear.

If all these validations pass, the 'Validate' icon is replaced with a 'Process' icon.
