You may now close multiple months at one time in the General Ledger.  This is mainly intended for customers who do not use the accrual basis and have not closed the General Ledger for many months.  Clients who don’t use the accrual basis should still keep their General Ledger close up to current month to assure summary GL reports run at their maximum speed.

You will see a new checkbox on the GL Close screen to Accrue Month by Month.  This checkbox applies when you are closing multiple months at one time.  If checked (default setting), accruals will be done exactly as if the client ran the month closes one at a time.  If unchecked, all accrual dates will be assigned to the 25th of the last month in the range of months being closed.

This feature is available in both OGWIN and OGSQL.  A client should make sure the GL Detail and Summary GL retention periods found in Company Maintenance are set to their desired settings before running the GL Close process.
