Accounting periods in Setup Data

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 544
Hi All,
 
I am so annoyed, I created a new company and used Production - Use Setup Data as an option. I have always used this, and started setting up. I then went to Accounting period to setup and noticed that it automatically added accounting periods from January to December, and locked and closed 2024. I cannot delete this.
 
This database has no transactions. Any advice on how I can delete it so that I can setup the periods correctly?

    You can use configuration packages without validation to edit the accounting periods table. Hope this helps - How to Import Data Using Configuration Packages in Dynamics 365 Business Central - Dynamics 365 Business Central Insights

    Do we know if this is going to be changed back? That is a huge pain to have to adjust this for every new company.
