Before you run your Month End routine, ensure you've followed the checks below.

Prepare for the month end

1. Check that you've posted all transactions for the month.
2. If you use the Product Valuation report, run this report now. You can't run this report retrospectively because stock movements in the new month affect the values. To produce accurate values, run it on the last day of the month.
3. If you use recurring entries, ensure you've processed all entries for the month.
4. If you use Foreign Trader, revalue your foreign currency bank accounts.
   You can run the foreign bank revaluation in the Month End window.
5. Run Check Data. If there are any errors in your data, fix these before you continue.
6. Create a back up of your data files and store it in a safe place. Name this backup 'Before Month End'.
   You can run Check Data and Backup within the Month End window.
7. Optional - Reconcile all your bank accounts with your actual bank statements.
8. Optional - Record your monthly opening and closing stock journals. so your profit and loss and balance sheet reports are correct.

You're now ready to run your Month End.
