The closing accounts are used for the opening entries and for the closing:
- P&L account: receives the previous fiscal year's profit or loss when the next fiscal year opens (2979).
- Retained earnings: the account this result is then transferred to (2970).
- Opening account: the counterpart of the opening entries (9100).
- Closing account: the closing account of the chart of accounts (9101).
The invoicing accounts are used by Post:
- Debtors: the account of the unpaid invoices (1100).
- Revenue: the revenue account of an invoice line that has none (3400).
- Discounts and Bad debts: the accounts where the balance of an invoice written off as a discount or a loss is recorded, and, for discounts, an invoice's global discount (chapter 10: Recording payments).
- Credit note clearing: the adjustment account of the credit notes (2005).
