This one is the second article from you and I am very much impressed by the effort you have put into it. No doubt a number of AX-2009 users will be pleased to get help from these articles. Moreover, you have picked up one of the most important, difficult and most ignored subject in overall AX processes. Where on the one side you are contributing to you own professional growth, on the other side you are uplifiting the Company's image and providing a lot of benefit to the users all over the world. Hope you will continue with your such efforts and very soon will become one of the few top level experts in AX-2009. God bless you and good luck ---------------------- Najam

Hi Sanam Well done for sticking your neck out to provide a very useful summary of the steps to take to co-ordinate Year-End and Stock Close. I found the summary very thorough. On one point of detail you say that Recalculation makes a "virtual" settlement that is not stored in the InventSettlement table, but in fact the settlements made by the Recalculation are stored in the table and can be seen from the Settlements button.
