So this is really part 2 of a larger problem.
After our conversion to D365 our opening period was permanantly closed. When we created our next fiscal year calendar (by using copy) the opening period started as permanently closed.
I copied a "new year" from our currently used fiscal calendar to create FY21.
The ledger calendar has the Opening period set to "Permanently closed".
There was only one transaction posted to FY21, so we thought if we created a new fiscal calendar it would solve the problem of the "Permanently closed" opening period.
In UAT on the Ledger Setup-> Ledger page, I changed the fiscal calendar to the new one. When I looked at the Ledger calendar for the new FY21 fiscal calendar it also had "Permanently closed" in its opening period.
Three questions:
1 Can you change fiscal calendars when 2 fiscal years/ledger calendars are open?
2 Why is opening period always Permanently closed, even when creating a new year?
3 Can I create a ledger calendar that does not start with its opening period permanantly closed?
1. You can create you new calendar and create fiscal year with in that
2. Map this to Ledger setup, this will solve you issue. After that put periods on hold.
Note: It is never suggested to "Permanently close " period instead put that on hold.
Now answers :
1. Yes you can change calendar in ledger setup
2. Opening period is not permanently closed, if you observe there are two lines for opening period so only first date with type opening is closed but same period starting from first date with type operation is open, so thats standard behavior
