When looking at Fiscal Year 2020 balances on the “General Ledger Balance” inquiry, there is an additional period called “Year End.” This is where you will see any activity posted after June 30, 2020 that relates to Fiscal Year 2020. On the General Ledger Entry inquiry, you will see these transactions in Fiscal Period “13.”
