=Issue=

The day, month, year, or GL export was closed by accident. This WIKI describes the process of removing a closeout in the database.

=Explanation of Error=

Cyrious SMS uses closeouts to track when the daily, monthly, or annual reports were created, or when the GL export file was created. This is simply a date and time entry in the Closeout table. To retroactively closeout, a new record must be manually inserted into this table.

Note:

  • If customer is running 8.91 you can walk them through closing and unclosing specific dates in Cyrious
  • _Existing users do NOT need to close while this work is done._
  • FASTSIGNS does NOT need a Royalty Closeout. Also Allegra Customers that are on the current release *8.91 does NOT need a Royalty Closeout either.

=Only for 8.91 Customer to remove their own closeouts=

  1. Navigate in Cyrious to Mgmt>Accounting>Retroactively Closeout
  2. Select the Close Out Type from the DropDownList (Daily, Monthly, Yearly, Royalty) that you need removed
  3. Highlight the Close Out you need removed
  4. Click the Delete Close Out button
  • Note: to see the newly inserted close, you will have to choose a report that allows datetime selection or shutdown and reopen Retroactively Closeout
