Your GL yearend problem is resolved in Plus and partially in Adagio. It is a difference between Plus and Adagio. You can post transactions in the Subledgers without separating the transaction details into separate batches (by month or year), and retrieve into the General Ledger without any issue.

From a practical perspective there is no requirement to manually separate transactions into separate fiscal years, unless you are looking to create work for yourself.

If you haven't rolled the GL fiscal year yet, the fiscal period of the 2004 transactions will be set to period 99 (when retrieved into the GL).

Here is the trick. In the GL Profile options (housekeeping in Plus), change Require batch printing before posting to unchecked (force listing of Batches to No, in Plus). This will allow you to post any valid entries and exclude entries with errors or say with period 99. (We normally change this back after the yearend roll and clear).

When you post the batch transaction, the batch entries for period 99, or the next fiscal year will be automatically moved into a new batch with just period 99 transactions. Archive and delete the batch. After you do your 2003 roll and clear in the GL, recur the batch(es) as period 01. Normally suggest doing this before the end of period 01.

If you still have Plus, I suggest you do it in Plus because it works better there. In Adagio, there is a problem in that if you print the batch details (which seems reasonable to do), the program puts an error flag on the entire batch and you cannot post the batch unless you fix the error. The Adagio workaround is you archive it, then delete the batch, then recur the batch and simply post the recurred batch. When you recur the batch, the batch print error flag is removed so the batch will then post similar to Plus.

Softrak is aware of the problem and is planning to fix. Until then I suggest do your GL posting for year end cutoff periods in Plus, to avoid the issues with batch print error flags.
