My company is operating on Sage 100 v. 5.00.4 and appears to have not closed periods in any modules for several years (both via word of mouth and staff members’ inadvertent postings to prior periods). Although I was able to find some resources in Help on closing periods and period-end processing, but the following questions remain:
1) We believe the company has not closed any modules for several years. Is there a way to view the last closed period?
2) If we find no months have been closed in many years, do we need to run period-end processing for each individual month, or would running period-end processing for the last date of each fiscal year suffice?
3) We desire to exercise caution in the process of closing so many prior periods. If we enter the accounting date in each module for the specific period we need to close will that ensure that, when we run period end processing for prior months in 2023 (thought 5/31/2023) we will not accidently close June 2023.
Thank you for sharing any knowledge.
