In the last blog, I wrote a checklist of what preparations you need to do before closing your fiscal year. Below is part two of three in the blog series "Preparations for year end
in Infor M3" - during the actual closing period. Enjoy!

1. Night jobs

Check that night jobs on all transactions have been completed. Sometimes an extra run is required for internal transactions and it could also be required for invoice transactions.

2. Cost calculation

A final run of all cost calculations should be made. After this run, you can also make necessary changes in your costing models (elements and components). Many purchase agreements change at the beginning of a new year. Based on the accounting principles that you follow, your inventory will be revaluated. The important thing is that these revaluations are not made before the calculations has been run.

3. Currencies

If a final closing rate is used, make sure that these currencies are updated. After this, a process of revaluation of the claims and liabilities in foreign currency can be made. Reservations in the general ledger are made based on the needs. Reservations that have been made during the year should be reviewed, any bookings that need reversals or an additional booking should also be considered.

4. Check everything one last time

Checks on all records and verifications are done through different controls. Any incorrect jobs and interrupted jobs are to be found in these controls. When the checks are completed, there should be nothing that has not been transferred to the general ledger.

5. Print reconciliation lists

Once everything is booked, you can start with your reconciliation lists. Accounts receivables, accounts payables, goods received not invoiced, inventory lists etc. After this job, you can start closing the periods of the year and start printing reports.

With Microsoft Copilot users can create ideas and content faster just by describing what they need with the help of AI and natural language processing. Users will save time, boost productivity, reduce workloads and also break down data silos. So, the hope is that AI — and Microsoft Copilot — will help everyone do more with less. Since Microsoft introduced Dynamics 365 Copilot — the world's first Copilot for both CRM and ERP — along with Copilot in the Power Platform, there is great anticipation about how these advancements will impact the way we do business. For example, Microsoft introduced multiple built-in scenarios for their products: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Viva Sales augment a seller’s actions with AI-powered insights, such as generating content suggestions based on customer emails. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service can give agents 24/7 AI-powered support to find resources to resolve issues faster. Microsoft Supply Chain Center enables Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management customers to better predict and act on disruptions. Microsoft Power Apps allows users to build an app just by describing what they need in natural language. Beyond that, Microsoft Azure AI tools and services allow you to build your own smart agents and services. This gives every company even more opportunities to stand out by using customer and employee knowledge and insights to increase loyalty, decrease turnover and build long-lasting relationships. With this launch, Microsoft democratizes AI, making AI capabilities formerly only available to IT and AI specialists accessible to a larger set of workers. Those among the first to capitalize on this opportunity and leverage the potential of AI will of course be ahead of the competition.
Artificial intelligence is changing the way businesses operate in a fundamental way, and Microsoft's Copilot is at the forefront of this transformation. With its integration into Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, the future of customer relationship management and enterprise planning has never been more promising. Let's explore how your business can benefit from it. Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. The latest McKinsey global research calls 2023 a breakthrough year for generative AI tools. Less than 12 months after generative AI hit the market, one-third of survey respondents say they can’t imagine their lives without these tools. By 2025, Gartner says 30 percent of outbound marketing messages from enterprise organizations will be generated from an AI. Today, 87 percent of organizations say AI will give them a competitive advantage. We believe they are right. Your business is on a path that will intersect with AI — if it hasn’t already.
