Summer 2002

#10. Two years can be open at the same time. You can keep your current fiscal year open as long as you need to and still enter 2003 budgets and postings before all of the 2002 entries have been completed. The system will keep it straight for you based on which fiscal year and date you choose to work in.

#9. Balance out outstanding encumbrances and payables to cash summary.

#8. June 30 was the end of the second quarter. 941 taxes are due.

#7. You can use your w2 balancing worksheet to balance each quarter.

#6. Your history files need to be cleaned out periodically. Now is a good time to remove that history and clean up those files. The more history you carrying, the slower the program runs.

#5. Double-check your checks and/or deposit slip supply to make sure that you have enough checks to print all of your summer payrolls and deduction checks. In addition, if you change banks July 1, make sure you have enough checks to start the new fiscal year.

#4. If you do direct deposit and you change banks each summer, you will need to go to System Management and change the bank information on your NACHA file.

#3. Payroll totals are only kept for 14 months within the system. You may need to print payroll reports that summarize fiscal year activities for your auditor. If you choose to run any of these reports, you must run them prior to your September payroll (if your fiscal year ends in June) AND before you make most of the clearing entries. The good news is that Payroll in FA2 will keep PR totals as long as you wish. You will also be able to archive your PR data.

#2. Backup, backup, backup.

And the number one thing to remember when opening and closing the year...
