Close a fiscal year in Smartbok

Work through the year-end checks, review generated entries and lock the period only after approval.

Mac

The current Smartbok build keeps year-end entries review-first. Generating the bokslut does not lock the year; the draft must pass through review before closing can finish.

Year End groups the work that must finish before the period locks.

Pending drafts and unsettled VAT keep the year open.

Prepare the year

  1. Select Year End.
  2. Choose the fiscal year.
  3. Review the checklist for pending drafts, VAT, reconciliation and assets.
  4. Open the linked area for anything that still needs attention.
  5. Return to Year End after the checks clear.

Review the closing entry

  1. Generate the year-end entry.
  2. Open Drafts.
  3. Check the result transfer, accounts and date.
  4. Approve the draft when it is correct.
  5. Return to Year End and close the year.

Smartbok refuses to close a year that is already locked through an earlier date, and it reports a closed year whose saved bokslut no longer matches the journal.
