Re: GL Change of Fiscal Year 4.05 CD

Check the archives ... I recall that there have been past discussions of the
intricacies of this very point. http://archive.midrange.com/bpcs-l/index.htm

You do not want to do GLD900 twice in same year.
You want to very carefully analyse how much stuff you can have in fiscal
periods so that there is a transition ... perhaps one year of fiscal months
that are like 2 months long if the end of year is moving forwards from April
to December.

It would probably be much simpler if you moved end of year backwards from
April to prior December, so that you would have a year with only 8 months.

One last year would be fiscal months 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4
The next year would be one time fiscal 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Then after that you would use 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Then you would have to review all the files that use bucketed systems of 12
months ago, such as the sales history files, to see if the system is to your
satisfaction or if you need to make some adjustment.  Ditto SYS800 how many
days retention of various kinds of transactions.

This might be a case justifying purchase of the Financial Auditor's Manual on
BPCS nuances from UPI.
