The Period End General Ledger function in SapphireOne allows users to close the current period for general ledger transactions and move them into history. This ensures that all general ledger data is up-to-date and ready for the next period. This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively perform a Period End for the General Ledger. The steps are as follows:
In a live environment it is critical you always create a backup before proceeding with any period end.
- Navigate to Management > Management > Period End General Ledger.
- Check the Current Period, Period Date Ending and Current Date displayed at the top. If any of these details are incorrect, quit the Period End procedure and investigate.
- Ensure all vital action checkboxes are ticked:
- Reports

- Backups
- The Continue button will become active once all checkboxes are selected.
- Click Continue to complete the Period End process for General Ledger.
