We are trying to close AP for the year end and the message is to clear period end clearing journal prior to closing.
We don't have one to clear. Where would that be located in the menu?

Under POST, you can print and clear the posting journals as long as you print to the printer or to file. Most of the time the problem is because someone went in to the Adjustment batch by mistake. The batch has been created and needs to be deleted. Just go into each of them, check that there is no batch to post and then go into the three print posting journals and check that they all have been printed and purged. If that does not work, backup the data and run a data check to see if there is a problem with the data.

As you are running MultiCurrency, the 'Clearing Posting Journal' (via period ends) can be found under the Maintenance menu. This is separate from those 3 reports mentioned by Wayne.

The fifth possible posting journal is for Check Reconciliation, and this can be found at the end of the Payments menu.

Should you not be able to run Year End even after printing and purging all the reports, the problem likely is that the data file is not getting cleared after purged when it should. The easy solution is to edit the Company Profile in AP and on the 'System/Report Options' tab, look for the option to 'Allow post journal purge' and disable it. Doing this tells the Year End process to delete all posting journal data files. So make sure you have printouts of everything you need before doing all of this.

Likley you are looking for the "Print Clearing Posting Journal" which is on the Maintenance menu directly following "Year End".

When you say the you don't have one to clear do you mean that you can't find this report or that when you try to print it the message appears that there is nothing to print?

The message says there is nothing to print.

Thanks so much !! Editing the company profile was the answer as all other journals were clear.
