In this blog post we want to make you aware of some Period-End relevant resources that will help make this process fast and smooth.
We will look at the How-To Guide from the help portal, Guided Answers for Period-End and some of the SAP Notes that exist for this topic.
Before moving ahead, we have a few important tips for you regarding this process:
Period-End How-To Guide.
This is the most complete guide that exists for this process in SAP Business One. The guide will take you through all the different sub processes that you will perform when closing the year. Keep it close to you while performing the different steps and use it as a reference.

The Note contains links to most other notes that you might need, however, I would like to point out the one regarding Period-End and Multiple Branches.
