Question to ask: Why wouldn't this acceptable? It categorizes data by a "period"? Anyway, I changed the GL Company profile to 13 months and it allowed me to add a 13th period on the GL Calendar (I did get a funny text displayed next to the start date though). Are you just talking about GL or all period based modules? I don't know what specific MODS or Custom Reports you have with respect to the number of periods that may have an impact. My suggestion is to populate a test company, close through, change back and observe. I would be concerned how information would appear after it is converted back to 12 periods. Would it be displayed on inquiry by period? You understand that a GL rebuild could prove disastrous, but you know all about that don't you Jeff (private joke). Hierarchies / user defined views will more than likely need to be rebuilt. Inventory Calendar will have to be adjusted for any 0213 period bookings form Future 3. Budgets will need to be entered. Are you using Job Management? JM is directly linked to the GL. Can't help you with Sales Analysis, I won't waste my time with it, but the same should apply. I'm sure you have considered "Alternate Year End", but as I don't know the purpose, it may not apply unless this is some kind of Reporting issue. My "gut feel" is that it will work for you with probably minor issues creeping up. Call me if you like Jeff. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@harvardind.com [mailto:Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@harvardind.com] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 12:04 PM To: jbausers-l@midrange.com Subject: SYS21 - 13 Periods - Pro or Con My company is considering using 13 periods this year only as a one time deal... We are in period 11 now we will be in Period 12 this weekend... They anticipate doing 2 more closes in the month of September... That means closing period 12 would not be the year end close, instead we would have a 13th period. Closing period 13 would coincide with the year end close... We do not have more than 12 periods defined... No adjustment periods are in use. Does anyone have experience with this...? How ugly would it be to convert from 12 to 13 periods and back again...? Is it even doable...? What are the gotchas...? Thanks...
