Hi Barb,

Bruce has already pointed out that the subledgers are independent of the general ledger, so you can just keep on using them.

And Adagio Ledger already allows two year's to co-exist in the same calendar year, using the 2013A construct for the short year.

The complexity comes in the financial reporting of comparatives. Period 1 in one year is not period 1 in the previous year (well, it is, but it refers to different months which usually makes the comparative numbers meaningless. YTD comparisons get difficult when the short year is part of the statement.

So, you generally need a complete custom set of statements to cope with the short year, while you are including it in the comparatives.

The complex formulas necessary can all be built in the financial reporter, but are unique to each company's circumstances. It has come up several times on the forum since we've been selling Adagio for 14 years. However, it is rare that a single company will be faced with this more than once or twice in its existence.

Just plan how you want this to work, and there are several people on the Forum who can help you make this happen. There's no need to change accounting systems.
