Fw: SYS21 - Moving year end -- SYSTEM21

Avryl,
What did you change on the company profile?
The number of periods or the Fiscal End Of Year?
Was this in test or live?

It could be bad if you changed the number of periods.
You need to change the Fiscal Year End.  The Period 08 (Feb) would be
the last period of the year and period 9 would become the first
period.

What testing did you do?
How current are your backups?


Regards

Michael
