Year End
This ONLY applies if you're using the General Ledger. Before you run this, make sure you've finished entering all of your transactions for the year and that everything has been posted and is in balance. Then enter any year-end adjustments (like depreciation) and post them. When all of this has been done, the final step in finishing the year is to run this procedure. This will create a Journal Entry that will zero out all of your sales and expense accounts and adjust your Owners Equity account.
