Re: SYS21 - Moving year end

[Michael Berman <mxb1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Avrylb,

Gee, so much for advanced planning! So you have 7 days to plan for
something you have never tried before!

I have just done exactly what you plan.  You will need to change your
Year End period from 12 (or 13) to 08 on the first screen of the GL
Company Profile.  You may want the Alternate Year End too, to change.

The only difference is I changed my Year End back to June!!!

Period 09 will then become the first period of your Financial Year.

You will have to do some severe marketing to the Accountants to
convince them that period 09 is first period of the year.  This is the
price they have to pay.

The alternative is to fiddle the number of periods in the year (very
yukky).

Perhaps someone else can let you know the impact on Sales Analysis and
Inventory.

I recommend you give this a trail.

Regards

Michael

ps Yukky is a technical term for "someone else can do it I am too
chicken"
