Created by Crystal Millington, Modified on Fri, 26 Dec at 4:19 PM by Crystal Millington

Steps to Reopen a Closed GL Period

  1. Open the Program:
    Go to GL > Programs > GL Month End Close.

  2. Select GL Option:
    Click “Close General Ledger” (it usually defaults to Sub Ledgers).

  3. Set Month to Reclose:
    Enter the month prior to the one you want to reopen.

    • If prompted that the last month will be rolled back, click Yes.

  4. Check for Unprocessed Items:
    Click “Close Check” (click twice if needed).

    • Ensure the message says “No unprocessed items found”, then click OK.

  5. Confirm Reopening:
    Click Yes when asked to reopen the General Ledger.

    • A message will confirm the month has been reopened.

  6. Reopen Sub Ledgers (if needed):
    Repeat the steps above using “Close Sub Ledgers” instead.

    • Important: Reopen the General Ledger first, then Sub Ledgers.

  7. Note: Do not exceed the Max # of Open Months in GL Company Parameters, or posting will fail in more current months.
