I opened our prior FY period end 9/30/23 to enter audit entries and tie out our trial balance. The TB has been reconciled so I am ready to close the 9/30/23 period. The notes from my predecessor say that I need to close the fiscal year again. The notes also say to have this 9/30/23 period unchecked. Then in GL select tasks > close Fiscal Year. The below is what it looks like in the current close FY screen. I'm concerned I'm closing the current FY (2024) if I proceed. Any help is appreciated/reassurance is appreciated.
