Closing Accounts Receivable Current Month
You can close the current accounts receivable month for year-end.

- Select Accounts Receivable Invoices from the drop-down list and click Go
.
- Click Close Current Month.
- When the confirmation message displays, click Yes to advance the posting period or No to cancel.
