4 Tips for a Successful Year End Process in Sage 100

  1. General Ledger Closing - While it’s a good idea to close modules in a timely fashion, your General Ledger can remain open for as long as you need while awaiting final processing in other modules (or audit adjustments). A GL that’s still open for 2017 will NOT prevent you from entering transactions for the new year.
  1. Payroll Planning - Even if your company is on a fiscal year, you’ll need to close out payroll at the end of the calendar year. It’s a good idea to begin reconciling all of your payroll tax reports to the general ledger in early December. This gives you a chance to catch errors early and avoid filing an amended payroll tax return. Note: All W-2’s and quarterly reports must be printed before processing the first payroll for 2018.

  1. Check Your Version Number - Closing procedures can vary depending on which version of Sage 100 you’re currently running. Contact us if you need help determining your version number.
