Question:

Mike, I have completed my audit of  for the year ended 12-31-19. I would like to post my year end journal entries into Sage 100 in the December 2019 period. Since we are now in May 2020, how can I reopen the Dec 2019 Period, make the Journal Entries, and then set the period back to May 2020.

Answer:

Open the General Ledger Options screen and change the date to 2019 period 12, make the Journal Entry on 12-31-2019, Post the Journal and re-close the Periods.

Steps are show below:

  1. Go to Modules>General Ledger>Setup> General Ledger Options, Fiscal Period should be changed to Year 2019, Period 12 as shown below and then Accept.
  2. Go to General Ledger>Main>General Journal Entry, create the Journal Entry with ending date 12-31-2019, Accept, Print the General Journal and Update.
  3. You will next want to close the period back to the original Period that the system was at. Go to General Ledger>Period End>Period End Processing. Deselect Print Reports and Click Proceed.
  4. This will set the Period to 2020 Period 1 since you started at 2020 Period 5 do this step four more times to set back to May 2020 and you will be complete.
