Finalise and Year-end Options in CCH Accounts Production.
Year End options
From the Task Bar, choose the Accounts Production Home screen 
the year end options are on the ribbon for this screen.
Year End performs a roll forward of financial data as does Finalise Accounts & Year End, the latter will also lock down the current period (finalise it).
The period for the next twelve months is created.
If this next period is an a long or short period of account you will edit the period within the General page in the General folder in the Statutory Database (SDB), to do this see SDB section: Statutory Database Selections and Data Entry
Note: the Finalise Accounts option on the ribbon will finalise (lock down) a period without creating the next accounting period.
