View closed period balances

Once an accounting period has been closed for Sales Ledger and Purchase Ledger transactions in the Maintain Accounting Periods window, you can view and print the period end balances for the closed periods. This enables you to compare the balances against the Nominal Control Total values to identify discrepancies.

To view and print closed period balances

Open: Accounting System Manager > Accounting Periods > View Closed Balances.

  1. Select the Sales Ledger or Purchase Ledger tab to view the balances.

    Both lists display the closed periods for the current year and all previous years and show the most recently closed action, e.g. when a period has been closed more than once.

  2. Click Print to print the Sales or Purchase Ledger Closed/Reopened Period Balances report (detailing the period number, period end date, total core balance on Customer/Supplier Accounts, total balance on Debtors/Creditors Control Accounts).
