Nominal Ledger Period End
Previous Top Next

The Nominal period end is the last one to be run and can be left open until all the necessary journal entries have been posted for the current period.  This includes any nominal adjustments, recurring journal postings, accruals, prepayments and routine postings such as own stock used this month and stock valuation journals.

Before running the period end you should print any of the Nominal Ledger reports you require.   For example:
1.   Trial Balance
2.   Nominal Transaction Report
3.   Management Accounts

Now process the period end: 
1.   Choose Gx Nominal on the toolbar.
2.   Select Period End from the menu.
3.   The period end screen shows the current period each ledger is in (the period you are closing), and when the period end was last run for each ledger.  The one you are about to run, i.e. Nominal Ledger, is highlighted in red text. 
4.   Click the Ok button.
5.   You are displayed the date this ledger had its last period end run, and which operator ran it.  Click Yes to continue.
6.   The system will display various messages as it updates files and moves transactions into history.  You will be advised when the period end has been successfully completed.  Click Ok.
7.   If this period end is the last period end in your current financial year, you should set up the nominal period end dates for the next financial year.

You may wish to use the printable Power-Gx period end checklist as a reminder of what you should run and the order in which to run them.
