Hi, June,

Am I correct that you are not trying to post to the prior year but are trying to get the prior year posting journal to print and clear so you can close the current fiscal year? If so, please read on.

If you're receiving a message to print and clear the Prior Year Posting Journal which is preventing you from closing your current fiscal year.

Two things:

First, please confirm that from the menu you have selected Post | Print Posting Journals | Print Posting Journal. Then on the Print Posting Journal window you have clicked the radio dot to be positioned beside the Prior Year (eg. if your fiscal year you're wanting to close ended in, say, March 2008, you would click beside 2007 as your prior year). When you do this and then click the Print button, does anything print? Do you receive the 'Do you wish to purge posting journal message? If so, say 'Yes'.

Second, if in the last paragraph there was nothing to print, you will have to use Windows Explorer to drill down to your data folder and scroll through the list of files to locate the GLPJRPYR.xxx file (where 'xxx' is your company's 3-character data extension). Rename this file to something like oldGLPJRPYR.xxx or GLPFRPRY.old. Do not delete the file. Now, try to close the current fiscal year again.
