Our company has not yet closed out their fiscal periods, or ran their year end closing procedures, and I was told that they may not for several months. However, they still have a need to pull an Account Schedule based off the Income Statement with a particular Column Layout that we had set up. This layout shows "3 Months with YTD & LYTD with Percentages", and it seemed to be working fine as it was set up to be based on date and not fiscal periods. Just recently one of the accounting assistance pulled this report and it seemed that the column "YTD" with the Column Type "Year to Date" is including last years posted transactions. As I mentioned, accounting has not closed the periods from last year, but I thought this Column Type pulled records based on date not fiscal period. The amount pulling in is the current balance of the account, which would be fine if we closed the year/periods.
Should this be pulling this way, or is the a bug from the most recent upgrade? I do not remember, nor did anyone complain last year that this report was incorrect and we never close until after June many times.
Should they be closing the periods and then just opening them back up if they need to post items to last year? I did not want to close the periods if this would not allow them to make changes to 2020 if needed.
