Re: Year end change in Financial modules

Hi Neil

We had this problem some time back after an MBO. It's very definitely
not straightforward and needed much SQLing of files. Get Geac, JBA,
whoever, to do it. It cost us about 6K. As they're then responsible for
any, ahem, problems that might ensue, it's well worth the money. We were
lucky and didn't meet any real problems after the change. The only
inconvenience is we're now in FY 2007!

Subject: [SYSTEM21] Year end change in Financial modules

We are moving our year-end, which will mean going from period 06/04 to
07/01.  

I'd planned to do this by running each period end in turn for 06, then
doing a year-end, but I'm not entirely sure how to fiddle the GL
calendar file to suit.   Another thought I had was to set the GL company
profile to 4 periods, run the year end then set it back to 12 periods.
Has anyone ever tried this, does it impact history at all?

Thanks in advance,

Neil.
