It’s January, why can’t I enter new donations for this New Year?

You need to close off the previous year before you can enter new donations in a January batch. Also, if you are wondering why your January PAC batches aren't showing up in the “batches to be posted” window, that’s the reason.

To close off the year go to Maintenance → Year-end processing. You can still print last year's receipts after closing off the year, but you will need to first post any open batches.
