Change an accounting period date

You can enter a new End Date for the period. The start date of a period is always the day after the end date of the previous period. This makes sure there are no gaps in your accounting periods.

You can change the period end date if:

• The period is Open and has no transactions posted to it.
• The period is Future.
• The period dates do not overlap with another period.
• The new period end date is not the same as the end date of another period.

To change an accounting period date

Open: Accounting System Manager > Accounting Periods > Maintain Accounting Periods.

1. Select the date to be amended.
2. Click Change Period Date.
3. Enter a new period end date and click OK.
