Carl,

The very first domino that needs to fall when performing the month end close is the closing of the Inventory Period.
All A/R transactions are booked to the current period for inventory. 

Check the file INP85 to see the current period, week, year, etc... 

There are plenty of postings in this list's archives that may prove useful for a novice S/21 administrator...

Here is an excerpt from the archives:

I suggest you download a copy of the REDBOOK from the IBM web site...
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg245967.pdf
This document covers a wide variety of System/21 topics not the least of which
is the proper method and a checklist for performing the year end close starting
on page 185...

I always check the status of the files in Inventory and Sales Analysis that hold
the Current Year/Period before I let the users make any transactions...

A simple query over INP85 and SAP10 respectively lets me see that all is well
before I let the users back in...

And I don't wait for the accounting modules to close I close month end and year
end for both Inventory and Sales Analysis immediately...  You don't want any
Inventory or A/R transactions posting to the prior year...  And you're right, you
need to take care not to close anything twice since that will tend to move you
an extra month and/or year ahead of where you think you're supposed to be...
And you probably already know what an ugly mess that can be to clean up...

One quirk about Sales Analysis is that you have to run the Year End reports
prior to running the last Month End option for the year...

The .pdf file is easy to use and well written...  This should set your mind at
ease if you follow the checklist listed therein...


Regards...


PS - This is the suggested order for closing...

 
Inventory Management
 
Sales Analysis
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts Payable
 
Cash Management
 
General Ledger
 
Financial Calendars Required For New Year
 
Fixed Assets
 
World Trade


Good luck...
