Go to Tools>>Rebuild G/L Reporting
This program is used to rebuild general ledger reporting from Historical Data for a selected period. This process is automatically run after a fiscal year has been closed for the next accounting period.
If you are unsure of the fiscal year to use, review the Accounting Period Master for the fiscal year you want to rebuild.
If the current fiscal year is being rebuilt and has extended periods, they may be included in the rebuild.
Note: A fiscal year should never be closed with extended periods. The extended periods should be removed and a rebuild done for the fiscal year that is being closed.
Select the fiscal year to rebuild using the Year to Rebuild field or Segment.
If you only have one fiscal year, Segment and Year to Rebuild will return the same information.
If you have multiple fiscal years, you may have the option to close by Segment or Year to Rebuild depending upon the following setup in General Ledger Settings:
If you have "Using Segment Controlled Accounting Periods" checked and "Segments Can be in Different Accounting Years" unchecked and all of your fiscal years begin and end on the same date, you may close all fiscal years using the Master Control segment or close each period by segment.
If you have both "Using Segment Controlled Accounting Periods" and "Segments Can be in Different Accounting Years" checked you must close each segment individually.
Select the Segment to rebuild or use the Year to Rebuild field for the selection process.
If you only have one fiscal year, Segment and Year to Rebuild will return the same information.
If you have multiple fiscal years, you may have the option to close by Segment or Year to Rebuild depending upon the following setup in General Ledger Settings:
If you have "Using Segment Controlled Accounting Periods" checked and "Segments Can be in Different Accounting Years" unchecked and all of your fiscal years begin and end on the same date, you may close all fiscal years using the Master Control segment or close each period by segment.
If you have both "Using Segment Controlled Accounting Periods" and "Segments Can be in Different Accounting Years" checked you must close each segment individually.
The accounting year information will be displayed. This information is pulled from the Accounting Period Master.
If the fiscal year has been extended, the extended to date will be displayed and included in the rebuild. This information is pulled from the Accounting Period Master.
