To create an annual balance sheet at the end of fiscal year, close accounts of classes 4 and 7 that have to have to be balanced out. That is, their balance has to be 0.

To this end, you can find a preset easy-to-use posting template using which you can close accounts of class4 without transferring posts to expenses. Plus, expenses and income are not reposted to profit and loss accounts.

To compare and present of how to proceed when closing classes 4 and 7 see Close Classes 4 and by Departments!

Note to Individual Phases in Creating the Report:

Line	Note
	Check procedures (expected result = 0) = Sum up the credit transactions to the accounts of class 4. Every such post occurs as a result of an error, that is, of incorrect posting and so thus the line is named check procedure. Only account 4900 - Transfer cost to stock is included in credit balance of manufacturing organization in mid-year postings.
	Close class 4 = Sum up the debit transactions to the accounts of class 4. (The total of debit transactions of cost from accounting period will be transferred as expense to profit and loss accounts - here these steps are not set.)
	Close income = Sum up the credit transactions to the accounts of class 7. It means closing all income accounts. (Steps for transferring to profit and loss account are not set here.)
