December 2008: Year-End Procedures
It's that time of year again. Preparing for DDMS® period-ending procedures means picking a RoadMap of your year-end procedures, ordering tax form stock, getting your questions answered ahead of time, and avoiding a few common mistakes.
- Topics for Dec. 10th at 1 PM CST, and Dec. 21st at 10 AM CST
-
Join one of our free two-hour Web-based training sessions where you can learn to:
- Select the right RoadMap out of three sets of year-end procedures, or find your RoadMap-specific edition of the Year-End KeyOps based on when your company's financial year starts.
- Navigate the period-ending parameters, reports, and applications in both text-based and graphical interfaces.
- Set up parameters that can make your year-end procedures go more smoothly, including where to look up passwords, setting the Month # for Year-End for Vendor and other databases, locating journal parameter lists, tax form printing, and updating federal payroll tax tables when they're published.
- Understand the general flow of period-ending processes to determine, for example, which optional reports should be printed now to reflect current history, and which may be skipped until later.
- Complete system shutdown, day-end, month-end, year-end, payroll, and general ledger procedures in the proper sequence, including new steps to sync your EBS SQL data properly before archiving journals.
- Use the "My Renamed Journals" worksheet to note where your archives reside on your system, noting the difference between the volume serial and the unit number, and mark any differences in your naming conventions.
- Account for new General Ledger accounts, cost of goods sold, and retained earnings in the proper period and with the proper entries.
And more!
You can choose from two dates:
- Wednesday, Dec. 17 1-3 pm CST
- Monday, Dec. 22, 2008 - 10 am - 12 noon CST

 Prior to your Web-based training session, we encourage you to peruse the the Year-End 2008 KeyOps, more particularly the RoadMap-specific Edition that fits your business.
The Year-End KeyOps newsletter, as always, puts all your period-end procedures at your fingertips, including procedures for DDMS system shutdown, DDMS file backup, day-end, month-end, year-end, closing payroll, closing general ledger, and making inventory counts.
Since some businesses close their fiscal year in December while others close in other months, our year-end RoadMap section points the way to the procedures that apply to your business, and helps you avoid unnecessary steps.
We encourage you to become familiar with the updated procedures that apply to your business and begin making any necessary preparations for year-end as soon as possible.

Quarter-End (O/PUS) Procedures (coming soon!)
Each quarter, you use the O/PUS® OPdb® multi-vendor catalog to update your DDMS® inventory database with the latest wholesaler and manufacturer items, quantities, and pricing. But since it's not a task you do every day, you may have questions on some of the steps. That's where our free training can come in handy.
