I thought of that, but the Controller is adamant that we NOT create a new company code due to all the defaults and such.

Another option is to create a new company ID and key in only the balance
sheet balances as of the start of the new company. These would be auditable
to the original company records.

Note that all your rules, etc. would need to be created under the new
company idea, but this creates a very useful audit trail.

Thanks, Dave. I haven't bounced it off the Response Line yet - I figured
with the economic situation we've been in for the last several years that
surely SOMEONE would have dealt with this.

Dale,

That's definitely the safe way to do it, in my opinion.

Hi List!

Surely with all the changes and such the member companies in this thread,
someone has gone through this.

The company (my former employer, who I still assist) is being purchased in
the middle of a fiscal period (specifically, Period 1). The company uses
XA's 13-period accounting. They want to close Period 1 completely in
mid-month (over a weekend) to close out the books for the old company,
then re-open Period 1 brand-new, starting over, on the same day.

Anyone done that? Suggestions? I was thinking the cleanest way to do it
was to close Periods 1 in IM, COM, AR, AP, and GL. Then repeat for
Periods 2-12 in IM, COM, AR, AP, and GL, then close 13 in GL,
sequentially. That would position them at the beginning of a new fiscal
year. Am I totally in left-field? That's a little time consuming, but
not THAT bad.
