prior year close and reopen

We have closed 2015 and sent everything to our CPA.  We had lots of stuff happen 12-2015 (separated from parent company, bought a new store location, etc) and so I have been waiting to make sure that we have CPA approval before moving on to 2016.  My January and February books are ready for closing; all I need to do is to run the period closing.  My boss is now asking for January and February to be closed.  If I run the period closing process for Jan and Feb and end up having to make a change to 12-2015,  will I be able to?  And would I then have to re-close January and February?  Thank you in advance!

    Re-opening the general ledger module to post journal entries back to a prior year is not big deal. You just go to g/l set up options and change the date back. When you are done posting your journal entries, set them forward again.

    You do not have to reclose (assuming you are on version 4.0 or above). Changes should carry forward automatically to the new year.
