Fiscal Period Util

Fiscal periods must be set up for a GL company for each year (see Company–GL). Since fiscal periods may not change within a company from year to year, it will save time to simply copy the fiscal periods from one year to another, using this utility.

To copy fiscal periods to another year:

1. In character Circulation, select Fiscal Period Util from the General Ledger menu to display the Copy Fiscal Periods screen.

   
2. Select Add and complete the following fields.

   Field	Type	What to enter
   GL COMPANY	setup	Enter the GL company whose fiscal periods you want to carry forward.
   FROM YEAR	integer (4)	Enter the year you want to copy fiscal periods from (you must enter all 4 digits of the year; i.e., 2005).
   TO YEAR	integer (4)	Enter the year to which you want to copy fiscal periods.

3. Select Accept to copy the fiscal periods. The number of periods copied successfully is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Press the space bar to exit to the Setup menu.
