Creating and Posting ‘End of Year’ Journal Lines
Find ‘End of Year Journal’ by entering it into the Business Centrals' search bar.
...
The ‘End Of Year Journals’ page is identical to the ‘General Journals’ page as seen below:
...
Here we are using the ‘Batch Name: Test', but it can be changed to any other needed batch name. Journal lines can be either single-entry or double-entry.
Single-Entry: Here the user enters one entry per transaction. This approach is normally utilized for more straightforward cash-based accounting.
Double-Entry: In this case a debit and a credit are recorded for each transaction in double-entry accounting. One account is used for keeping track of the debit, while another is used to record the credit. This is a more complicated accounting approach but is recommended as it offers a more comprehensive financial picture.
After choosing one of the above entry types click the Post/Print action button at the top of the page.
...
Here you have 4 available options:
Post: This action button immediately posts the journal lines to the ‘General Ledger Entries’ page. The information entered within the journal is then transferred to entries on individual accounts.
Preview Posting: This action button enables you to review the different types of entries that will be created when posting.
Post and Print: This action button will simply post the journal lines and then open the posted document so that you can print it from there.
Test Report: This action button will create a report that shows what the result will be if the journal is posted. In turn it allows you to certify that the entries are correct before concluding and posting.
As soon as posting is complete, you can view the ‘Chart of Accounts’ page for further results.
Filtering by totals
Search for ‘Chart of Accounts’ within the search bar of Business Central.
...
Initially the Source Code Net Change field is the same as any other field on the page as seen below:
...
If we use the functionality to ‘Filter totals by…’ a certain filtering attribute the field will change accordingly.
After clicking on the ‘Filter totals by..’ chose the + Filterbutton.
...
This button will let you choose one or multiple filtering options. In this case we will filter by Source Code.
...
Another drop-down menu will be visible to select the Source Code, in this case the EOYJNL.
...
Then the values within the ‘Source Code Net Change’ field will immediately change and show which accounts have been affected. Obviously the values will change if there has been a journal line or multiple lines posted to the ‘General Ledger Entries’, otherwise all values will remain as ‘0.00’.
