# Close

When all account billing processing, invoicing, and reporting has been completed for the billing run being processed, select this option to close the billing run. The general ledger is then updated and prepared for entry of information for the next account billing period.

All history pertaining to the billing is updated, and changes to this billing run are only possible if you undo the close (see [Undo Close](/circulation-user-manual/accounting/account-billing-menu/undo-close.md)). To produce a report of the general ledger entries generated by this option, print the General Ledger Interface Journal for the appropriate bill batch or bill date (after closing account billing). See [GL Interface Journal](/circulation-user-manual/14-appendix-b-file-formats/file-mapping-data-elements/gl-interface-journal.md).

If you are running a selected accounts billing (see [Selection](/circulation-user-manual/accounting/account-billing-menu/selection.md)), Business Rules determine whether you can Close it. Typically, you would Undo the selected accounts billing rather than selecting Close.

#### To close the billing run:

1. Select Close from the Account Billing menu to display the Close Account Billing window.\ <br>
