Any possibility of adding something in to address this in future? I would imagine from Doug's comment about "many different suggestions on the forum" that this has come up before. In our case, we want to simply do ledger entries to clear the prior (short) year to zero, and have the subledgers continue to work. There is a lot of value in keeping the subledgers working as they have been. The largest being the customer data base of course. It is very important for our employees to be able to access past customer purchases without flipping back and forth between "old" data base and "new". If we had to do that, I can guarantee mistakes would happen.

Also, I like the fact that we have years of history to compare, in ledger. Lots of value in that as well.

There is much talk of moving us over to Chameleon, which is what the branch already established in Mississauga is using, which would make me very sad. If we knew this might be something you would be looking at in the future, that would help. Since we are definitely TWO different companies, this does not necessarily have to happen.

Possible? A year might be called 2013A, to differentiate. Of course, I don't know the ins and outs of this, I'm just throwing things out there. As I said, it sounds like this has been a problem for more companies than just ours.
