The QuickBooks Closing Entry is made after you have recorded all the adjusting entries. If the books are already ‘closed’ then you should not enter any entry for the Fiscal Year. In several occasions, you will see some programs will stop you from making an Entry. This might happen even for the entry that aims to perfect your books. QB Desktop permits you to enter a transaction that will affect Closed Fiscal Year balance. In this scenario, the program will tell you what is not recommended, or it will ask for the ‘Closing Date Password’ that you have set up. QuickBooks Desktop does not have an actual transaction for closing entries that got created automatically. Whenever a report is run, the program evaluates the adjustments. Note: It is not possible/feasible to view the automatic transactions very carefully, as opposed to manual adjustments that we record. Consequently, these adjustments are considered as ‘Closing Entry,’ though they are not real QuickBooks transactions.
