Soft Roll Process

The “soft roll” option allows you to process current month transactions into the corresponding default accounting period. This then allows you to continue with prior period’s “month end processes”.

Note - Bank Reconciliation as at month end must be completed before the ‘soft’ roll. The soft roll must be done before you run the wip and accrual process for the month.

Soft Roll - Set default entry period

Step1: Navigate to File > Preferences > Processing date

Step2: Click on Set Default Entry Period to the current month.

In the example below, the current financial period is July 2022 and 

Click on 'yes' if you wish to set the default entry period to August 2022.

The default entry period is now August 2022 but the system period is still in July 2022. 

This means that all transactions ( timesheets, supplier and client invoices) entered into jobBag will be posted to the August period. 

Note: If you want a transaction to post into July 2022 you can manually change the period on the transaction back to the July period.

Reverse Soft roll - Default Entry Period to the previous month

Step1: Navigate to: File > Preferences > Processing date > View period history

Step2: Select > View period history

Step3: Click on > July 2022 > Click on 'Set as default entry period' > Save

Default entry period has been set back to July 2022
