SYNOPSYS

This class contains methods for end of year entry.

BASIC PROPERTIES

end_date specifies the end date for a closed period.

reference specifies the gl reference field associated with the account closure

description specifies the gl description field associated with the account closure

retention_acc_id specifies the account id used as a retaining account.

METHODS

$eoy->checkpoint_only();

This creates account checkpoints at $eoy->{end_date}. This has two uses: 1) Can be used to ``close'' books without zeroing income/expense accounts. This prevents data from being inserted for earlier dates.

2) This can be used to improve performance by creating a ``lookback'' point.

$eoy->reopen_books()

This reverses any end of year transaction on $eoy->{reopen_date}, and deletes checkpoints later than that and creates a checkpoint for the prior day.

$eoy->latest_closing()

Needs no properties set (other than internal private ones). Retrieves the latest closing date and returns it.

$eoy->close_books()

Requires all properies in BASIC PROPERTIES to be set. This creates a gl yearend transaction, and moves income/expenses to the selected equity account for retained earnings.

$eoy->list_earnings_accounts

Returns a list of equity accounts, and sets $eoy->{earnings_accounts} to a list of hashrefs. These are used to select retained earnings accounts in closing books.
