A fiscal year (or financial year) is used in accounting, which varies between companies and for budget purposes. It is also used for financial reporting by businesses and other organizations.
Fiscal End closes a Company’s fiscal year and generates the corresponding accounting entries with the document type of NEW.
As we know, before any accounting operations, the accounting financial years involved must be created and open. This function is therefore used to manage, by company, the status of the financial years. Associated with that particular entry transaction validation screen. You may also get an error as “Incorrect document type” while running the closing process in Sage X3. We can resolve this by following steps.
