Hi Everyone,
Below you will find some tips to help ensure that your Inventory Control Year End Close process goes smoothly for you!

What does the year end close process do and/or affect?
1. Transfers all of your summarized current-year quantities, costs and sales amounts to last-year, for the items which you are maintaining summarized sales history for.
2. Updates each item’s Beginning Quantity, from the Quantity on Hand, at each site.
3. Zeros the Quantity Sold field in the Item Quantities Maintenance (Cards | Inventory | Quantities/Sites) for each site.
4. Gives you the options to:
a. Remove discontinued items
b. Remove sold purchase receipts
