RE: SYS21 - Month End on the 28th!

["Mauger, Jenny" <Jenny.Mauger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neil,

I'd love to do this but we are open for the rest of the week including the
28th.  The reason they want to run month end early is that they need 6 days
to complete reports sent to head office.  Because we have 2 days holiday at
the start of June for the jubilee celebrations they will loose 2 days.
Rather than explain to head office that the reports won't be ready till the
8th they want to have month end 2 days early.  Not the way I would play it
but I don't have a choice.  It will cause problems with customers too.  Most
payments come in at the end of the month but if statements are run on the
28th as part of month end as they usually are then those amounts won't show
and they may be on credit stop etc.

My real worry is that part of the process will fall over or that things will
post to the wrong period because of something I have forgotten.  We also
have a lot of bespoke programs and as I am on my own at the moment I haven't
time to check all of them.

All the best,

Jenny

Jenny,
It sounds that (like us) you close for business on the 28th, and don't
open again til early June.  In that case, can you getaway with only
changing the Inventory calendar, running Inventory period-end on the
28th, plus Sales Analysis, and then just doing everything else as you
would normally when you get back?  Anyone foresee any problems with this
approach?

Neil.

Dear All,

Thanks to the jubilee year our MD wants to run our month end on the 28th
of
the month!

I'm quite new to the JBA game and am currently on my own in the IT
department looking after JBA.  I am going to change the following
calendars;

Inventory
Manufacturing
Sales Analysis
General Ledger
GL VAT
World Trade
Service
Workshop

and I have made sure that our in house month end program is set to run
on
the 28th.

Can any of you think of something else that might go wrong or think of
anything else I need to check?

Have any of you any experience of doing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours nervously,

Jenny M.
