  3. In the Basis Year Close pane, select the year to update the beginning balances.
  4. In the Basis Year Close panel, select Actions > Update Next Year Balance.
    You can select the Changed Totals Only check box to update the next year's balance based on what has changed since the last Update Next Year Balance was run.

    A Balance update complete message is displayed. You can see beginning balances for the year processed in the Totals report.

  6. Filter on the next year's beginning balance period to view the beginning balances that are stored in the close ledger of the reporting basis.
