All the System journals related to these accounts are created when the Income/Expense journal is saved.
- A majority of these accounts can be reconciled by comparing the System Account and the related Income/Expense account on the Trial Balance:
- If these do not match, the system journals have likely been deleted.
To resolve this, re-save all transactions that are posted to the Income/Expense account. This will re-generate the system journal that was missing.
The Close Period Process
Each year, all system accounts related to a member are combined to create the member's new opening balance. This process is completed when Close Period is selected on the Period Compliance screen:
Close Period journals are then created, clearing each account to $0 and posting the balancing amount to 50010/Opening Balance. An example of a Close Period Journal can be seen here:
- An exception to this is 59200/Contribution Reserve, which is transferred to 52420/Contributions displaying that reserves are being recognised as contributions in the coming financial year.
See the Contribution Reserves article for more information.
