Title: AM-N 2/14/07 update
Post by deburr on 02/26/07 at 07:20:52

The new update has provision to print financials for more than 2 years past. I have a 9 month short year in 2006 and don't want to mess up my current financials which are correct. Should I ignore this part of the update or is there a way to enter proper dates in the AM-N to account for the short year. It seems that dates for 12 periods are required in each year to properly set up.

Yes, you define the year in AM-N. I had to add this to TAS-G "maintain menu access records".

The list of menu changes states: ..."Date based table also supports non-calendar months and short stub years which result from changing the fiscal year start."

I entered 00/00/00 dates in the 3 months of the short year that do not belong. This has done nothing to help me. My balance sheet after the update is totally messed up. What am I doing wrong? How do I define the short year to the system?

How did you manage to enter 00/00/00 dates?

I remember I couldn't do it the day I installed the update, but a few days later I tried again and by, mousing into the field and typing 000000, and mousing to the next field, it did it. Then I ran UT-K-D, and my world was back in harmony.

Ah, the old "mousing into the field and typing 000000, and mousing to the next field" trick. OK, I fixed it so you can no longer cheat and enter 00/00/00 dates. It is important that there are no 00/00/00 dates in the GL periods. The 00/00/00 dates may mess up the financial reports.

For short years, enter the beginning date in Period 1 and continue filling in the period dates until you get to the last valid date for the short year. Then fill in the remaining periods for that year with the same last valid date.
e.g. Short year 01/01/05 to 03/25/05. Enter 01/01/05 in period 1, 02/01/05 in period 2 and 03/01/05 in periods 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. Then for the next year, enter 03/26/05 in period 1 and then fill in the rest of the dates with the beginning period dates.
