Checklist - G/L Month End

This is a basic check list for the monthly General Ledger procedures, see document titled G/L Month-End Closing Procedures. This is based on posting the Interfaces from each module only once per month and also obtaining the Recurring J/E at the month end. You need to decide the best process for your company and create a G/L Check List for yourself.
