GB VERSION: Comparing Acc. Periods in Accounts Schedule

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BorisK 132

Our UK customer is trying to build Account Schedule Column Layout so that they can compare identical Accounting Periods for this year and last year. W1 version has the field "Comparison Period Formula" which can do precisely that. GB version doesn't have this field - it has "Keep Comparison Period Scope" instead, which, sadly, is not the same. As a result our GB customer is unable to compare periods in different years, because their periods don't have the same dates - e.g. period 5 in 2017 is 30 April - 27 May, but in 2016 it was 01 May - 28 May. W1 version can handle that, but GB version can't.
Is there any way to incorporate "Comparison Period Formula" functionality into the GB version?
I find it hard to believe that no-one in the UK ever came across the same problem.

    Thanks BorisK, at least now I can stop looking for it. Crazy, the rest of the world gets this nice functionality but the brits can struggle on.

    There isn't one in GB version - that's the whole problem.

    It only exists in W1 version.

    Does anybody know why there is no ' Comparison Period Formula' column? It's so frustrating, everything you read online about building account schedules refers to this option. Where is it?!!!! Please help us.

    Hi Borisk, 

    Did you ever resolve this one? I have a client with the same issue. 

    Thanks,
