Change start date of accounting periods after creating

(0) ShareShare

Hi All,

When starting a new company, is there any way to reset the start date of the first year? For example, the system created Jan-Dec as the first year, and now I want to change it to July - June.  This is before any transactions, and as I see it, since the system ticks the "Date Locked" field, it does not allow changing the first period.

Thanks

    I found with a customer last year that you can alter this with configuration packages. If you set the option to delete table records before processing it will give you chance to clean out what is there and replace with your data. Oddly, I was able to do this when transactions existed.
