Purchase Ledger Period End
Previous Top Next

The Purchase period end comes after the Sales period end.  It can be left open until all purchase invoices and credit notes have been received for the current month, and all payments made to suppliers this month have been posted.    Remember to check that you have collected and posted all your electronic invoices and credit notes for this month. 

Before running the period end you should print any of the following reports you require:
1.   Creditors Report
2.   Purchase Ledger Daybook Report
3.   Supplier Turnover Report
4.   Supplier Transaction Report
5.   Purchase Ledger Nominal Analysis Report
6.   Supplier Status Report

Now process the period end: 
1.   Choose Gx Purchase 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. Purchase 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.   All of your period end dates will have been moved on, so it is good practice to update the future purchase period end dates.
8.   The Nominal Ledger period end is the next and final one in the period end routine. 

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.
