Slide#: 4© GPS Financial Services Revised 04/04/2009 Cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Inventory Module - Y.E. Preparation The first step to prepare for the year end is to go into the Inventory Module in order to post or clear all transactions for the year just completed. The next step is to identify and fix any items with erroneous negative quantities. Inventory costing problems need to be handled, especially erroneous zero values. Reports should also be reviewed for costing problems. If you have kitted items, be careful on unit of measure differences as they may need to be re-cost one at a time. Preparing for Year End

Preparation Physical inventory adjustments can be major due to quantity shortages and even more to costing problems. The biggest problem is zero costing errors.

Slide#: 7© GPS Financial Services Revised 04/04/2009 Cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Inventory Module - Y.E. Preparation Period-end processing consists of printing reports that disclose or analyze the results of operations in the period that just ended. It then wipes the slate clean to start gathering information in the new period. If you have been running CMS for years and you rely on the “available for sale quantities”, you should check whether you need cms2IN FixQty-swo. This will help to recalculate the OE on order, back order, and PO on order quantities. Print all reports and back up your data files before you purge. If you have a PDF writer like PDF Blaster or cms2 , it is recommended that you store a copy on the hard disk. Preparing for Year End
Slide#: 8© GPS Financial Services Revised 04/04/2009 Cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Inventory Module - Y.E. Preparation In normal business operations, fiscal periods usually overlap a day or two. You do not need to halt operations at the end of a period to perform period-end processing. Simply continue to enter and post transactions in the new period, making sure that you have the correct transaction date entered. Your computer will post them in the next period accumulator. Note Although you do not have to halt operations at the end of a period to perform period-end tasks, it is important that you print time-sensitive reports before you post in a new period.

Slide#: 14© GPS Financial Services Revised 04/04/2009 Cms 2 YE Closing+ tm Inventory Module - Closing Warning BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE PURGING. Once you have purged this information, there is no way to retrieve it without a backup or changing to the prior year company code. You may also want to print a Stock Value Report, Stock Movement Report, and an Inventory History Report before purging so that you have a hard copy of the information. If a backup is made, it is suggested to put it in a special location, such as \YE-IN-2008 so that it won’t get overwritten. The best technique to do this, is to copy the “IN” files only from your ongoing company to your prior year company (ex. Y08) manually or by using our product (cms2SY CopyModule) that lets you copy one module from one company code to another. Backing up or Copying Files (optional but highly recommended)
