Does anyone know how to change an accounting year- previously ran from July 1-June 30 to a calendar year when there has been supplier invoices with period allocations done for future periods. The invoices have all been paid, so they cannot be cancelled. I am not able to delete the periods either because there are already transaction in those periods. Any suggestions. Thanks

Hi
IFS RnD does not recommend to change accounting periods, when there are vouchers already existing for the periods. This is because, it may cause problems in voucher queries like GL voucher rows analysis / GL voucher details analysis etc. Also, this could lead to data manipulation in GL as well. Therefore, there is no standard functionality available in the application to change accounting periods after creating vouchers.
If it is necessary to change the periods, this has to be done via a data repair script. IFS consulting organization provides such data scripts on chargeable basis.
Hope this explanation helps you.
Best Regards,
Sachin
