Period for 1-1-2010 does not exist.

Posted on by user5555 7,437

Hi,

I try to create a packing list, but I get message: "Period for 1-1-2010 does not exist.". I think it is caused the financial year 2010 is not set up somewhere.

Any help appreciated.

MS: would be nice if there is a kind of help link pointing to the problem, cause and the solution instead of just the message.

    Hi,

    I fixed: General Ledger -> Setup --> Periods --> button Create new fiscal year --> add new year.

    I have next two questions:

    1. I fiscal year of 3 months instead of per month? Can I regenerate or delete the months not needed?
    2. I have started in 2009, but the years 2006, 2007, 2008 are also present. Can I remove those years? If so, how can I do that?

     Any help appreciated.

    J.

    Hi,

    You can delete periods and years if the (normal) periods are open.Don't mind the status of the opening and closing periods. You have to delete all years beginning with the latest (2010? the 2009, 2008 and so on).

    When the period form is empty, you can add the years you want to have again. After you have completed this, you have to run the function "Recalculate period balances".

    regards,

    André

    Dear Andre,

    To make sure I have understood well. Assume I have an administration with 12 periods (every month) and I did declare and pay my VAT tax every month. Assume theoretically - since I believe all tax authorities will not accept that - that it had been done on a quarter basis. I can delete the 12 months - if still open - and then create quarters (every 3 months), then run the function "recalculate period balances".

    Thankx

    Hi,

    I don't know if the authorities and accountants will be happy with this situation, but it is possible with the functionality of Dynamics AX.

    The declaration of VAT is based on a different period table, so you can have ledger periods based on quarters and the VAT on months.

    We have a situation where the fiscal year is based on a 4 weeks periods (13 periods in a year), but the VAT must be declared every month.

    regards,

    André

    Dea André,

    Thank you, issue resolved. Interesting to hear that strange fiscal year you got and AX is able to handle it.

    Hi,

    I started with ax in 2009, but there are closed periods 2007, 2008? I think of other customer since in the database I also found data of another customer from my partner.

    How can I remove those periods 2007, 2008? I want a clean system?

    *** DO NOT RUN INTO PRODUCTION  ***

    *** MAKE BACKUP ***

    update [LEDGERPERIOD]
     set [PERIODSTATUS] = 1
    where [PERIODSTATUS] <> 1

    Only if you have a new system without transactions or are sure this period never has been used.

    J,

    I just had a call from one of our customers, same issue. The period had been previously set, but the error was still showing up. They restarted the AOS and the problem was gone.
