GOOD TO KNOW

At the end of the fiscal year, the software automatically performs what is known as a "floating entry" or "off-period entry". This entry does not affect either the year that has just been closed or the new year. It is used solely to ensure the accounting transition between the two fiscal years.

Note that this transaction is not recorded in Juris and is therefore not visible in traditional entries. However, the financial reports requested as of 31-12-XXXX for the closed year remain intact and still accessible.

If a transaction is entered in a year that has already been closed (e.g., an adjustment or accrual), the floating entry is automatically adjusted so that the impact is correctly reflected in the following year.
