After some serious testing, headaches and grey hair all seems well.

This is a one off change to force a year end as at November 30.  After
that the Year will resort back to July-June.

The findings are:
The Fiscal Year End controls when the year ends (and Profit/Loss
rolled to retained earnings).
The calendar continues as normal.  So if the the Fiscal Year End is
05, the the next period is 10106.

AR, AP, CS & AFI dont care about GL Year Ends as they just post to the
required period.  Bank Reconciliations wouldnt matter as it is a
Balance Sheet Account and the Cume Balance is the Cume Balance.

I will risk one assumption with the Credit Manager YTD Details (does
anyone actually use these?). The assumption is:
These would be built when AR is rolled or stats calculated.  At this
time it would check either the calendar or the Fiscal Year End to see
if it is a year end.  As it is only a temporary change (ie, just for
when we roll the GL from Period 5), it will not be an issue.
The similar things for AP.

We will also be using the Alternate Year End as they want details of
July-June -> even though Nov is their year end for 2001 only.

The only areas of convern are the User Defined View/Balances and FM
Reports.
If the UDV's need to be (re)built, then we will have to fiddle the
Fiscal Year End back to '05' rather than 13 for the rebuild.
With the FM Reports you will need to use BS-ANT-ACT rather than
BS-TYD-ACT.

These notes should help the next sucker pushing the boundaries.
Atleast I have proved how flexible the system actually it.

Regards

Michael
