NetClose - Generate Close Tasks
Overview
Before each close, the close checklist will need to be generated for the period. This can be done manually or automatically on a scheduled basis. This article provides instructions for generating the checklist manually.
Prerequisite
Close tasks are created from predefined templates for the specific period selected. Refer to the guide on how to create close task templates for detailed instructions.
Step-by-step process
- Navigate to NetClose > Close Management > Generate Close Tasks.
- Adjust the filters as needed to display the list of tasks available for generation.
- Tasks will be generated for the accounting period selected in the Period filter.
- By default, the Frequency filter will populate with the following frequency types based on the selected period:
- Any month: Includes Monthly and Weekly tasks
- Final month of a quarter: Includes Monthly, Weekly, and Quarterly tasks
- Final month of the fiscal year: Includes Monthly, Weekly, Quarterly, and Annually tasks
If tasks are missing
By default, the list displays only tasks that have not yet been generated for the selected period. To view tasks that have already been generated, select Generated This Period and/or Include Auto Generated in the Other filter.
- To select tasks for generation, either click the checkbox in the dark header bar to select all tasks, or individually select tasks using the checkboxes beside each one. Once selected, click Submit to proceed.
If any of the selected tasks have already been generated, a warning message will appear. If you choose to submit anyway, then the existing task will be deleted and replaced with a new task in a Not Started status.
- Refresh the page until the processing job is complete. Once finished, the generated tasks will be listed, and the execution status for the processing job will show as Complete.
- After processing, the generated tasks can be found on the task board or task list under NetClose > Tasks > Task Board or Task List.
