    in Reckon Hosted and Reckon Desktop you just go to Company in the menu tab and down to set closing date.

    Hi @jenny_9151212 ,

    As Kris mentioned above, Navigate to the "Company" section, access the "Set Closing Dates" option, and input the required dates. I've also attached screenshots for your reference.

    Also, Simpro's data should remain unaffected as long as all invoices and data are dated after the closing date.

    If you need any further assistance , please don't hesitate to reach out.

    I shouldn’t think so as long as it’s after the closing date

    hi Kris

    i am just a bit worried if the invoices has been changed in Simpro before the set closing date, i understand it should not be any backdate invoices, but it happens , so when it transfer to Reckon, it will set a warning or just not transfer and leave a descripency in Reckon ??

    cheers

    I believe you would be asked to enter the password, and if you’re on Cash basis for your BAS extra invoices shouldn’t be a problem
