Once you've made all your modifications to this year's asset register as required, you can submit journals to the workpaper period.
Before you submit journals, it's a good idea to run your asset schedule reports first to make sure all your balances are correct.
If you're using Client Accounting Workpapers, you can use the Assets - GL reconciliation workpaper to compare the balances in Assets to the balance in the underlying ledger.
