Dynamics F&O Year-End Close Screen Update

As the calendar turns to December, it’s time to start seriously preparing for year-end. Throughout this year, Microsoft has introduced changes to Dynamics 365 F&O to help organizations better manage and understand their business. One key update to keep in mind came in the 10.0.26 service update...

Editor's update — June 2026: Since this post was written for the 10.0.26 service update, Microsoft has reworked the year-end close. With the General ledger year-end enhancements feature turned on, template setup is now separated from running the close: templates live on a dedicated Year-end close template setup page (General ledger > Ledger setup > Year-end close template setup), while the Year-end close page (General ledger > Period close > Year-end close) is used to run, rerun, and reverse closes, with a Show reversed checkbox above the history grid (Year-end close, Microsoft Learn). Version 10.0.41 added a Validate year-end close feature that runs pre-close checks for out-of-balance vouchers, highly variable dimensions, and transaction overflow (Year-end close validation), and from 10.0.45 the system warns about open budget-controlled purchase orders when you close or hold the final period. The navigation paths, history behavior, and reversal steps described below remain broadly accurate but should be read against these later enhancements.

As the calendar turns to December, it’s time to start seriously preparing for year-end. Throughout this year, Microsoft has introduced changes to Dynamics 365 F&O to help organizations better manage and understand their business. One key update to keep in mind came in the 10.0.26 service update and was related to the year-end close screen.

Within the version 10.0.26 upgrade- the look for the form for running the year end close has changed. There is now a history section that will populate as you run closes but does not show any previous inventory closes. This does not mean they are gone or lost. Those vouchers still exist, but with the form upgrade in version 10.0.26 it will only populate the history going forward.

This post will help users walk through what the new year-end screen looks like and how it functions.
