Stock Period End
Previous Top Next

The Stock period end is the first to be run each month, and should be run on the last day of the financial period,  after all stock movements for the current period have been entered.  This would include booking in goods received and entering any other stock adjustments.  It is important that the Stock period end is done before any new stock transactions, e.g. entering sales or purchase orders, are generated for the next financial period. This will ensure that a true Stock Valuation is produced before the next month’s processing begins. 

Before running the period end you should print any of the following reports you require.   
1.   Stock Valuation Report
2.   Own Stock Use Report    
3.   Outstanding Purchase Orders Report
4.   Uninvoiced Purchase Orders Report

Now process the period end: 
1.   Choose Gx Stock 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. Stock, 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 Order Processing period end comes next.
