CLOSE LEAVE YEAR

Use this screen to close the last leave period of the current leave year and open the first leave period of the next leave year for the selected leave cycle. Costpoint allows only one leave period per leave cycle to be open at any time. You must close one leave period before any activity for the next period can take place. You will also update the Maintain Leave Beginning Balances table in Costpoint Employee with beginning leave balances for the next leave year.

You can close the leave year only when you close the last leave period of the current leave year and the next leave year has been added to the Leave Periods table.

Print/Close

You can select this button on the toolbar when you first enter the screen. If you do, you will receive a message box asking if you really intend to close. If you answer OK, the journal report prints with the closing process following immediately. Selecting this option will close the last leave period of the current leave year. The Leave Period table will reflect the closing by changing the "Y" in the Open column to "N."

There are three edits in the closing process. Two hard edits prevent the leave year from being closed. The first occurs if there are current leave period transactions in the Leave Journal that have not been posted to the General Ledger, and the second occurs if the open leave period is not the last leave period of the current leave year. A soft edit occurs if there are no records in the Leave History for the current period.

Close Year

When you first enter this screen, this button on the toolbar is grayed out. If you select this option after printing the journal report as part of this session (the option becomes available after printing), you will receive a message box asking if you really intend to close. If you answer OK, the closing process will proceed. Selecting this option will close the last leave period of the current leave year. The Leave Period table will reflect the closing by changing the "Y" in the Open column to "N."

Note:  When you select the Print button on the toolbar, the closing process does not take place. After printing the report, you will still be in the application. You can then select the Close Year button on the toolbar, and the process will proceed.

Note: When you change any of the print options or selection criteria after having printed the report, the Close Year button is grayed out. You will have to print the report again before the closing process can occur. If you select the Print/Close button after having changed a parameter, the report prints automatically as part of the closing process.
