RE: Fw: fiscal year change

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ARGH!  Brought back bad memories of MAPICS DB and a new controller that
wanted to change to 4 week periods.  After exhaustive research, the
controller was replaced. 8-)  MAPICS had a table of G/L Periods start date.

Can I forget again now!

And what about companies that use a 13 period system?
