✑ All future and previous periods must have an On Hold status.

Solution:

✑ Configure General ledger parameters.

- Set the Create closing transactions during transfer option to Yes.

- Set the Fiscal year status to permanently closed option to Yes.

✑ Define the Year-end close template.

- Designate a retained earnings main account for each legal entity.

- Set the Financial dimensions will be used on the Opening transactions option to Yes.

✑ Set all prior and future Ledger periods to a status of On Hold.

Does the solution meet the goal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The solution does not meet the goal because setting the Fiscal year status to permanently closed means that the fiscal year cannot be reopened if needed, which is against the requirement that the fiscal year closing can be run again with only the most recent closing entry remaining in the transactions. Additionally, both the Create closing transactions during transfer and the Transfer profit and loss dimensions set to Close All meet the requirements, but the fiscal year status setting is crucial and incorrect.

Set the Financial dimensions will be used on the Opening transactions should be set to NO. Opening transactions are Balance sheet accounts only. They don't need financial dimensions. Dimensions only apply to Profit & Loss accounts.

The Transfer balance sheet dimensions option is used to specify whether the financial dimensions on transactions that are posted to balance sheet accounts should be maintained on the opening transaction. As a best practice, this option should be set to Yes

When the year-end close is run for fiscal year 2020, the retained earnings from the previous year remain exactly as they were posted, even if the Transfer balance sheet dimensions is set to No. Balances that are posted to retained earnings from previous year-end closes are never changed. So I agree that B is more logical. I am afraid that MS will see A as the correct answer.

B is the correct answer. Closing the final period will disable the possibility to post transactions to previous 13th period.

The critical issue is the Fiscal year status to permanently closed option set to Yes, which prevents posting adjustments to Period 13 of the previous year, directly violating the first requirement.
