How to do Period End procedure in Sage X3

Fiscal Period is the period
of time reflected in financial statements. Usually, the fiscal period is either
the calendar year or a quarter. Fiscal period is also known as an accounting
period.

The fiscal year is the consecutive
12-month period during which a business or organization plans its budget. It
does not have to be from January to December.

In Sage X3, sometimes we may find
difficulties like while running accounting task error comes for closing a
period. So, for solving these Sage X3 has a some in build functionality. Kindly
follow below steps for closing a period for particular month and for country.

Just follow the periodic tasks in the sequential order:

Step1:

1. Run

   This is to check all the stock journals are posted properly and no error is
   pending.

Navigate to : Stock -> Periodic Processing -> Valuation -> Accounting Interface

Refer above screen shot, just open the accounting
interface screen . Enter processing date and then click on OK button. This will
show, the journals are posted properly or not.

Run WIP posting for all the Work
Orders which are closed: Make sure all the work order journals are posted
properly.

Navigate to: Costing -> WIP -> WIP Posting

Refer above screen shot, open the WIP
Posting screen.

Mark the ‘All Sites’ and ‘All
transactions ’checkbox as checked then click on OK button. This will show, all the
WO’s journals are posted properly or not.
