Fixed Asset Account Maps - The following records are incorrectly mapped:

  • Click the Fixed Asset Map ID linked in the error message
    ​
    ​

  • Ensure the Fixed Asset Account, Accumulated Depreciation Account, and Expense Account fields have a valid Account set
    ​
    ​

  • Save changes

Bank Reconciliations not completed for the following Bank Accounts:

  • Balance a Bank Reconciliation for the Bank Account(s) specified
    ​
    ​

  • Financials Close requires that a Bank Reconciliation be completed for all Bank Account Maps every 45 days

There are Outstanding Sub-Ledger Reconciliation Journal Entries that must be first be balanced:

  • Click the hyperlinked message, Click Here to Balance
    ​
    ​

  • Add Journal Entry Trans as necessary to ensure the Journal Entry is Balanced
    ​
    ​

  • Click Balance
    ​
    ​

  • If this Journal Entry is unexpected, go to Financial Reporting, Sub-Ledger section, for a series of reports to investigate

Can not close the selected Companies at the same time:

  • All End of Day processes, when run with multiple selections, require the current Close Dates to be identical
    ​
    ​

  • If Company 1 is closed through 12/31 and Company 2 is closed through 1/1, they cannot be closed at the same time
    ​
    ​

  • Run Financial Close for the Company with the least current Close Date through the most current Close Date (in the above example, run Financial Close for Company 1 for 1/1)
    ​
    ​

  • Once Close Dates are aligned, users can run the End of Day process for multiple Companies at the same time
