I just created a new fiscal year 2020 and selected 7/1/2019-6/30/20 with 12 monthly periods. It appears it only created one period. I I don’t see any way to change from 1 period to 12 monthly. now when I try to delete i get error recorded trans exists in ledger for selected year the fiscal year cannot be deleted.
is there another way I can remove this and create it again?

Do you have multiple legal entities? Then check for each company the Ledger form if the fiscal calendar is still used.
2012 R2
error is recorded trans exist in ledger XXXX for the selected fiscal year the fiscal year cannot be deleted . The issue is it created a fiscal year with one period instead of 12 all the the others are fine I just need to change to 12 monthly periods
Hi allaboutax,
Can you share some screenprints of your setup and share the exact error / info that you receive when you try deleting 2020?
Also, please let us know the exact AX2012 version that you operate.
Many thanks and best regards,
Ludwig
Hi Allaboutax,
Do you get an error message while trying to delete the 2020 year? If you try this, is the fiscal calendar already changed to the new one?
its not letting us delete the 2020 year still for some reason and it was because I entered wrong period? Can this only be done on backend so I can create the correct one for 2020
Hello allaboutax, Provided that you have sufficient user rights, you should be able to delete the old calendar. What error / problem do you experience resp. see? Best regards, Ludwig
Hi Allaboutax,
When you have changed the calendar on each legal entity and the old was is obsolete, I do think you should be able to delete it as it is not referenced towards transactions anymore. But, I have not tried it myself. You can test it in a test instance yourself.
once I create the new fiscal calendar can I delete the old one?
Hi Allaboutax,
When you create a new year, you have to specify the period length which is 1 month. You probably entered 12 instead of 1.
You can create a new fiscal calendar with the correct settings. Then change the fiscal calendar on the Ledger form. You then also need to recalculate the balances. See also my blog how to create and change the fiscal calendar: dynamicspedia.com/.../ax-2012-change-fiscal-calendar-to-a-shifted-year
