When you see this window, you are ready to start the year-end close.
We recommend that you leave the Run data verification checkbox selected. This allows data verification to run as part of the close year process. Data verification checks to see any of your data files are missing or possibly damaged and tries to correct any problems. Running data verification should make your close year process go more smoothly. You must have Full Access under User Security>Company>File>Data Verification to run data verification.
The close process begins. A progress bar appears at the bottom of the window with the legend "Now Closing..." The progress bar shows in real-time the percent of the process that has been completed. When the process is complete, Sage 50 displays the Congratulations! window.
Warning! Once the year-end close process starts, it is imperative that you don't cancel the Year-End Wizard. Do not turn off your computer during the close. Since the close process may take a while to complete, we recommend that you start the process at the end of your business day, making sure you leave the computer running.
