In 2026, the month in 1C is closed after primary documents have been recorded and verified: the routine operations provided for by the configuration are performed, their results are analyzed, and the calculation is repeated after corrections are made. If property tax is calculated during closing, the taxpayer calculates it independently by applying the relevant rate to the tax base (Article 593 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
Month-End Closing in 1C: What to Check Before Starting
Before closing the period, make sure that the primary documents for the month have been entered and posted and that business transactions have been recorded in the appropriate accounts and analytical accounting objects. Particular attention should be paid to sales and purchase documents, settlements with counterparties, and movements of inventories and fixed assets.
It is useful to check the following in sequence:
- whether the correct organization and accounting period have been selected;
- whether the documents for the month being closed have been posted;
- whether there are any incorrect dates, incomplete details, or incorrect analytics;
- whether turnovers and balances are consistent with the primary documents;
- whether settlements with counterparties have been recorded correctly;
- whether any individual documents need to be corrected or additionally posted.
Month-end closing should not be regarded as a single technical button. The final result depends on the documents and accounting entries generated throughout the entire period. If the source data has been recorded incorrectly, running routine operations will not correct the substance of the business transaction.
Before starting, it is advisable to generate and save trial balances and other control reports. After the operations have been completed, they can be generated again and the figures compared. This approach helps determine which amounts, accounts, and accounting items changed as a result of closing.
For work in 2026, the current release of the “Accounting for Kazakhstan” configuration, 3.0.74.x, should be used. Before closing, it is also useful to verify that the infobase has been updated, a backup copy has been created, and users have finished entering documents for the period being closed.
Month-End Closing in 1C 8.3 and 1C 8.2: Step-by-Step Logic
In the current “Accounting for Kazakhstan” configuration, 3.0.74.x, open the month-end closing workspace provided by the program and select the organization and the period to be closed. The specific path to the processing tool depends on the interface, user permissions, and database settings, so use the period-closing commands available in the configuration being used.
The set of routine operations is determined by the accounting data and settings of the specific database. It may include:
- cost calculation and allocation;
- closing production accounting accounts;
- calculating the cost of output and inventory write-offs;
- determining the financial result;
- routine tax accounting procedures;
- tax calculations provided for by the organization’s settings and accounting data.
If the processing tool provides for all operations to be performed, run the full calculation. When execution up to a selected stage is available, this option is useful for interim control: first perform some of the procedures, then analyze document movements and reports, and subsequently continue the closing process.
Operation statuses and the ways in which they are displayed depend on the interface version. You should check not only the overall processing result but also each routine operation: whether it has been completed, whether an error message has been issued, and whether the expected accounting entries have been generated.
In 1C 8.3, ERP, Manufacturing Enterprise Management, and localized solutions for Kazakhstan, the set of operations, interface, and command names differ. Instructions for an old edition or another configuration should not be transferred mechanically to the production database. For “Accounting for Kazakhstan,” the current 3.0.74.x release branch is the benchmark in 2026, while for “Payroll and HR Management for Kazakhstan,” it is 3.1.37.x.
Operations should preferably be performed in the sequence established by the program. The result of an earlier stage may be used at subsequent stages, so skipping or incorrectly performing one procedure may affect subsequent calculations.
What to Do If Period Closing in 1C Cannot Be Completed
If an error occurs, open the details of the problematic operation and examine the message text, movements of the generated documents, and related reports. Record the stage at which the error occurred and which documents or analytical objects are specified in the program message.
If the cause arose at one of the earlier stages, subsequent actions may not be performed or may produce a distorted result. Therefore, errors should be resolved in the same sequence in which the operations are arranged in the closing processing tool.
If the configuration allows you to reverse the entire closing or reverse operations after a selected stage, use the relevant command. After correcting the documents, rerun the affected operations and generate the control reports again. Before reversing, make sure that other users are not modifying documents for this period.
Offsetting or outstanding balances in settlements require particular attention. For example, if amounts for accounts 1710 and 3310 or accounts 1210 and 3510 remain simultaneously for the same counterparty, check the documents, contracts, analytics, and accounting entries. Such balances should not be closed by an arbitrary manual transaction without an established basis.
Practical verification procedure:
- Generate a report for the relevant accounts, broken down by counterparties, contracts, and settlement documents.
- Compare the balances with contracts, primary documents, and the actual status of settlements.
- Check the dates, transaction types, accounts, and completion of analytics in the source documents.
- If there is a documentary basis, prepare the offset, adjustment, or other relevant document provided for by the configuration.
- Rerun the affected closing operations and check turnovers and balances.
Change settings related to closing tax accounting accounts only with due regard to their purpose in the specific configuration. Before changing a parameter, review the generated movements and the consequences for accounting for inventories, fixed assets, and other objects. The name and effect of a setting may differ between program editions.
If the message indicates missing analytics, the source document in which the required accounting dimension has not been completed should be corrected. If an incorrect date or account is identified, first determine the underlying document, then repost it and repeat closing starting from the affected stage.
Checking the Results After Closing in 1C
A successful processing status alone does not replace an accounting review. After completing the procedure, generate reports for cost accounts, production accounts, financial results, tax accounting, and settlements. Compare them with the data before closing and make sure that the changes are explained by the operations performed.
When calculating property tax, compare the tax base and the applied rate with the accounting data. The taxpayer calculates the tax independently, while current payments are determined based on the carrying amount of the relevant assets according to the accounting records at the beginning of the tax period (Article 593 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
Check whether any unexpected balances, negative values, or movements without a clear underlying document have appeared. If an error is identified, reverse the operations after the problematic stage, correct the source document, and repeat the calculation. Manually adjusting the final entries without analyzing the cause may conceal an error that will recur during the next closing.
Also compare income and expense turnovers, check the closing of accounts subject to closing under the adopted accounting procedure, and review the breakdown of material amounts. For each unusual movement, it should be clear which document and which routine operation generated it.
Before moving to the next period, save the control reports and record which errors were corrected. This simplifies subsequent reconciliation and helps establish a repeatable month-end closing procedure.
Questions and Answers
How do I perform month-end closing in 1C? — Check the documents and balances, open the month-end closing workspace, select the organization and period, perform the available routine operations, and then analyze their status, movements, and control reports.
Can only some of the operations be performed? — Yes, if such a command is provided by the configuration being used. Execution up to a selected stage makes it possible to check the interim result, correct errors, and then continue the calculation.
Why does month-end closing in 1C fail? — Common causes include unposted or incorrectly prepared documents, incomplete analytics, inconsistent accounting settings, negative balances, and errors at a previous stage. Start with the message text for the first operation that was not completed.
How do I reverse period closing in 1C? — Use the configuration’s option to reverse the entire closing or the operations after a selected stage. Then correct the source documents and repeat the calculation in the proper sequence.
Is closing performed in the same way in 1C 8.3, ERP, and Manufacturing Enterprise Management? — No. The general verification sequence is similar, but the set of operations, interface, and commands depend on the version, configuration, and database settings. For “Accounting for Kazakhstan,” the 3.0.74.x release branch is current in 2026.
Is a successful status for all operations sufficient? — No. After processing is completed, you must check trial balances, cost breakdowns, the financial result, settlements, and movements of routine documents.
