Copy entire set of Data files to a new directory, eg. \asp\data\2000 representing year to 31 March 2000. This should be done when all normal processing has been completed. If modules need to closed off piecemeal then it would be advisable to contact your consultant first. Year-end adjustments in can be entered after the roll-over. See notes dealing with this. Create Start List items for all Snapshot modules. Eg. 2000 Xyz Co 2000 Xyz Co 2000 Xyz Co 2000 Xyz Co Add Quickzip Backup for Snapshot data. Most subsequent work will be in so separate QuickZips for and All modules may be appropriate. Roll-over in Current Data may now be commenced. NB. Subsequent procedures on CURRENT data only, not Snapshot. NB. Snapshot will have no further processing. It will serve as an official archive henceforth!

Accpac Plus Checklist Page 8 Note on Year-end Adjustments Objective: Enter adjustments once post these to both and also the Snapshot Ledger and the Current Ledger (Posting to Prior Year) post the Reversals to the Current ledger. Posting to Prior Year: 1. Creates an automatic Closing Entry against Retained Earnings 2. Causes all opening balances to be brought forward correctly 3. Creates no movement in the current year. Adjustments should be entered in the Snapshot. Batches should be separated into Normal Adjustments and Reversible Adjustments. They must NOT be posted. Instead, the Provisional Posting facility must be used. This allows the effect of the adjustments to be shown on the Trial Balance and Financial Reports, (but not the Listing). When all adjustments have been finalised, they should be Archived {3-1-4}. A distinction must be made between the Normal and Reversible Adjustment Batches. In the Current : Under Create Recurring Batches the directory pointing to the Snapshot data must be selected. Using Create Recurring Batches, retrieve all Normal Adjustment Batches and Delete Archive; do not amend date nor fiscal period. Retrieve all Reversible Adjustment Batches and do NOT delete Archive; do not amend date nor fiscal period. Post these batches to Prior Year. Ensure the date selected for the Closing Entries is correct. Retrieve all Reversible Adjustment Batches again but this time Delete Archive; amend date to start of fiscal year and change fiscal period to 1". Post these batches to Current Year. In the Snapshot : Post the batches to Current Year. Both ledgers will now be synchronised. The closing balance of the Snapshot will equal the opening balance in the Current. Last Year s data in the Current will have been correctly updated.
