FW: SYS21 - GL Alternate Year

["Michael Berman" <berman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Will,

The alternate Year End gives you the option of having a year end for
reporting purposes only.

Say your real Year End is at the end of period 12, but your management want
to have separate financial reports for periods 7 though 6 as they cover
seasonal trends better etc...
What would happen is that you would set the alternate year end to be period
6.
For your enquiries and reports, the Year to date cumulative figures would be
period 1 thought 12 for the Year to date, and periods 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
1,2,3,4,5 & 6 for the alternate year to date.

The alternate year to date is only available on some enquires.  Your FM
Reports (etc) would need to be written to pick them up.

Regards

Michael

Has anyone ever used the "Alternate Year" field in the GL Company Profile?
If so, how does this work?
