Hi Aussie,
Yes, you can Archive batches, delete them, print/clear the batch status report, run Change Fiscal Year, and restore the archived batches. So, after batcking up the data:
- From Maintain Archived Batches, click the 'Archive' button, and create an archived batch for each open batch for the new year. If you have multiple batches, you have to do this multiple times.
- After you are sure all batches are archived, delete all open batches.
- If you haven't done so already, print and clear the batch status report.
- You are now ready to run the Change Fiscal Year function. This changes the dates of the fiscal calendar in the company profile forward by 1 year, and moves the amounts of the current 12 fiscal periods into the historical column for 'last year' reporting and comaprisons. If you simply change the dates in the company profile, you will not have the second portion done. If you have to, change the dates back so that Change Fiscal Year will be for the correct dates.
- From Maintain Archived Batches, click 'Restore' for each of the saved batches. This will put them back into the Open Batches area for editing, posting, etc. You should not select any of the restore options, such as Update dates and Reverse entries.
