Periodic Journal Setup when 4-4-5 Fiscal Calendar is used

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 248

Hello all - 

My client uses a 4-4-5 fiscal calendar. The first month of the journal will use as of date 9/30/2022. The second month general journal should have an as of date = to 10/28/2022 based on the fiscal calendar. However, when I 'Retrieve' the periodic journal D365 wants to use a date of 10/31/2022. I get no results on the journal line. Why is this? Is it because the periodic journal is based on unit = months and number of units = 1. Seems like D365 is ignoring the 4-4-5 end date and instead is pulling in standard calendar month end dates.  Anyone else experience this issue? Am I setting up my periodic journal incorrectly?

    Hi Barry,

    A unit Months is different from a fiscal calendar period. The Months option is really about a calendar month. To be able to have a ledger period, you might consider a customization.

    Hi Barry,

    About setting up 4-4-5 Fiscal Calendar, please check the following steps:

    1. Create a new fiscal calendar;

       Calendar 445

       Fiscal year name 2022

       Length of period 1

       Unit years

    2. Create a new fiscal year

    3. Set up the first period as opening and the third as closing

    4. Divide de Period 1 - repeat it until you have all 12 periods

    Update the Month and Quarter column during the dividing.

    Best Regards,

    Charlotte
