SOP Period End
Previous Top Next

The Sales Order Processing period end comes after the Stock period end. Normally, the SOP period end is run on the last day of the financial period after all transactions for the current financial period have been entered. This includes the production of invoices and credit notes

Before running the period end you should print any of the SOP reports you require.  For example:
1.   Customer Sales Analysis
2.   Order Daybook
3.   Product Sales Analysis
4.   Rep Orders Analysis Report
5.   Sales Performance Enquiry

Now process the period end: 
1.   Choose Gx SOP 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. SOP, 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.   The Sales Ledger period end comes next in the period end routine.
