Last updated:
“Edara” allows you to automatically create a closing entry for the current or any previous financial year, enabling you to close expenses and revenues in the designated account.
Creating a Closing Entry for the Financial Year
Ensure the following:
- There is an account of type "Retained Earnings," or define the account type if not specified.
- Post all transactions from the Posting page in the Accounts module up to the date for which the closing entry is to be created.
- Set the posting type in the Chart of Accounts.
And the steps to Create a Closing Entry are:
- Go to the Accounting module.
- Select “Horizontal FS” Report.
- Specify the closing account, such as “Retained Earnings”.
Note: Avoid filtering by cost centers or their levels.

- Click the “+” icon.
- Select “Closing JE”.
