RE: GL Change of Fiscal Year 4.05 CD

We too are on BPCS 4.05 CD -- went through a divestiture in 2000.  One - out
of many - things that changed was our Y/E schedule, i.e., from Jan. 1st to
Oct. 1st.  Prior to running GLD Y/E close again for the new period, SSA GT
had us change our Company Master (GLD125) to reflect the correct amount of
"Account Periods" for each company (press F14 to override warning message).
Then they had us change the Period Master (GLD105) for each company, zeroing
out the remaining periods. Lastly,   SSA had us repeat this process to load
12 months of the following year's schedule.  I don't recall having to change
our GGM file at this time (just at the time of the divestiture for other
reasons).  Hope this helps.  Feel free to contact me w/ any questions.

We are thinking about changing from fiscal year end of April to Dec and I
want to know if there any issues with BPCS to do this..ie ..GLD900 2 times
in
the same year ,etc..?  Any potential problems or issues would be helpful. I
would like to talk to a financial type person who has done this before on
BPCS 405cd...
thanks
