At year end, you need to complete
the steps listed in the
Deltek Year End Checklist.
You should complete all required
activities in the recommended order.
Year End Review

• Make a complete backup of your Vision database.
• Open a New Period (Fiscal Year).
• Begin to process allowable transactions in the new
fiscal year. Do not process any Accounts Payable
disbursements, Accounts Payable payment
processing, or Payroll processing in the new period.
• Complete all 2014 Payroll payments and
adjustments in 2014.

• Install the 2014 Year-End Update (Versions 7.2, 7.3
and 7.4) For Deltek First Vision Essentials SaaS
customers, the Year-End Update is scheduled and
installed by Deltek Cloud Operations. The timing
and specifics of this update will be communicated
to the SaaS Administrators within Deltek First
Vision Essentials SaaS organizations.
• Run the Open New W-2 Quarter utility. Since
December is in the fourth quarter, Vision
automatically opens a new W-2 Quarter/Year.

• Print 2014 W-2 forms and, if applicable, generate
the Electronic Filing (Magnetic Media) file. You can
complete this step at any point after step 5.
• Post all 2014 timesheets and, if applicable, run the
Open New Benefit Year utility. You can now begin
processing 2015 timesheets and Payroll.

• Complete all 2014 Accounts Payable payment
processing, adjustments, and Accounts Payable
disbursements in 2014.
• Run the 1099 Initialization utility (See Chapter 7 of
the Year End Guide). You can now begin processing
Accounts Payable payments and Accounts Payable
disbursements for 2015.
• Print 2014 1099-MISC. forms and, if applicable,
generate the Electronic Filing file. You can complete
this step at any time after step 10.

• Process any 2014 accounting adjustments, such as
journal entries.
• Print the final 2014 accounting reports.
• Close the 2014 periods and fiscal year.

Final Step: Make a complete backup.
Deltek recommends that you label
this backup with the date and the
Vision version number.

Tips and Tricks

If forms are not aligning and
printing correctly – print
from the “Print” option Not
the “Preview” Screen.
Tips and Tricks

What does marking an accounting
period “closed” actually do? It removes
it from the Open Period list which helps
prevent postings in an incorrect period;
marking a period closed does not
prevent you from accessing information
in the closed periods.
Tips and Tricks

Should you consolidate Dormant projects?
1. This will Not reduce the size of your Vision
database.
2. The individual project financial information
will no longer be available for review – the
only way to recover project information is
to restore a backup made before the
consolidation process was run.
Tips and Tricks

For company mileage reimbursement, if
you need to use both the 2014 and the
2015 rates for a few weeks, uncheck the
box: Disallow user to edit amount on per
mile on expense reports. This is found
under configuration, Time and Expense,
Company Expense, General Tab.
Tips and Tricks

The Year End Update does NOT
update the wage base in
Configuration/Payroll/Withholding Codes.
The 2015 base in $118,500.00
up from $117,000.00 in 2014.
