NetClose - Generate Close Checklist
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.
Close tasks will be created from the predefined templates for the specific period selected.
Prerequisites
The close task templates must be created before the month-specific tasks can be created. 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 applicable, the Other frequency must be manually selected.
- Frequency filters can be manually selected or deselected as needed for each period.
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 under 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:
Generated tasks display the associated period to the right of the task name (e.g., “| Mar 2025” in the Name column, as shown in the screenshot above).
- After processing, the generated tasks can be found in NetClose > Tasks > Prepare Close Tasks. Refer to the guide on preparing and reviewing close tasks for further details.
- Additionally, the generated tasks will appear on the task board or task list under NetClose > Tasks > Task Board or NetClose > Tasks > Task List, respectively.
