Overview
End of Year Closing in InFocus is an automated journal entry. The purpose is to take the year-to-date amounts in all income and expense accounts and reverse them into retained earnings. This effectively zeros out the income and expense accounts for a fiscal year.
Key Concepts
• | The Lines tab in the designer uses one of four command types: |
o | Text - Text prints one text line. (Text comes from Line Label Column) |
o | Summarize - Summarize prints one summarized line. (Summarizes ranges established in the Modify Ranges Button) |
o | Itemize - Itemize creates one line for every item retrieved from the ranges established in the Modify Ranges Button. |
o | Consolidate - Consolidates G/L accounts that may have associations to multiple Org. Units. |
