[GL] How to Handle Close Check Errors (GL Month-End Close)

Created by Crystal Millington, Modified on Fri, 26 Dec at 2:41 PM by Crystal Millington

When you run Close Check during GL Month-End Close, Vista checks all selected modules for unprocessed activity.

  • If no issues are found, click OK to close the month.

  • If issues are found, the system displays a message that the month cannot be closed.

  • Review the tabs at the bottom of the Close Check screen to see what must be processed before closing.


Common Close Check Errors and How to Resolve Them

Unposted Batches

  • Shows unposted batches with details such as company, month, batch ID, source, and status.
    Fix: Go to the source module and post or clear the batch.


AP Prepaid

  • Lists prepaid AP transactions that have not been processed.
    Fix: Process or clear the prepaid transaction in AP.


AP Unapproved Invoices (Informational Only)

  • Lists unapproved AP invoices.
    Note: These do not prevent month-end close unless other issues exist.


Inventory (IN) Reconciliation

  • Indicates activity posted after Inventory reconciliation was run.
    Fix: Re-run IN Monthly Reconciliation.


JB Invoices

  • Lists unprocessed Job Billing invoices.
    Fix: Process or interface the JB invoices.


PR Pay Periods

  • Shows payroll periods that are not fully closed or updated.
    Fix: Complete payroll processing and run required ledger updates.


MS Uninvoiced Tickets

  • Lists material tickets not yet invoiced.
    Fix: Invoice or process the tickets.


MS Hauler Payments (Informational Only)

  • Lists unprocessed hauler payments.
    Note: Does not block month-end close by itself.


MS Intercompany Invoices

  • Lists unprocessed intercompany MS invoices.
    Fix: Process the intercompany invoices.


MS Vendor Payments (Informational Only)

  • Lists unprocessed vendor payments (display limited to 500).
    Note: Does not block month-end close by itself.


PM Interface

  • Indicates unprocessed PM interface batches.
    Fix: Post or clear the PM interface batch.


SM Invoices

  • Lists unprocessed Service Management invoices.
    Fix: Process all pending SM invoices.


Unprocessed SM Work Completed Lines

  • Shows SM work completed lines still in Provisional status.
    Fix: Post costs using SM Work Order Cost Posting.


PM Corrections

  • Lists unprocessed PM correction batches.
    Fix: Post or clear the PM correction batch.


Important Notes

  • A month can be closed with unapproved AP invoices or MS hauler payments, as long as all other items are processed.

  • If only AP is being closed, the system checks AP, MS HaulPay, and MS MatlPay batches.

  • If only AR is being closed, the system checks AR, JB, and MS batches.


Once all required items are processed, rerun Close Check and close the month
