You create next year's general ledger when you are ready to either enter:

• budgetsBudgets
• general General ledger postings for the new year.
• Billing/Charges for the new year

Before creating next year's general ledger you can inactivate unneeded set general ledger accounts. Unneeded general ledger accounts are not codes that are not required to inactive. General Ledger codes set to inactive will not be carried over to the next G/L year.

Note: Synergetic lets you work with two years of data. For example, if when you create 20172019, you can work in 2016 2018 and 2017.Creating a general ledger year closes off another. For example, 2015 2019. By creating 2019 the old prior year 2017 is closed and general ledger journals can no longer be posted to it.

After creating the next year's general ledger:

• You can continue to post to the current year.
• Postings For balance sheet accounts postings to the current year are also posted to next year as well, including P&L accounts. These are posted to the profit and loss Appropriation account in the next year.
• You can run financial reports for next year as well as this year.
