Dear Joanna

Because Fixed Assets is based on dates, certainly the date entered at any prompt could cause adverse affects sometime in the future processing of your data.

If you go into the 1st screen of the Company Profile, from the main Housekeeping menu in FA, it should be able to tell you:
1. Fiscal Year is (<12 or 13> periods and begins in <Month> ) and
2. Depreciation taken thru (<Month> of <calendar> year <9999> )

According to the information you have given, the above should read:
1. Fiscal Year is (<12> periods and begins in <July> ) and
2. Depreciation taken thru (<June> of <calendar> year <2001> ).

Is this what is says? If not, there may be a way to get things back the way they should be, but we would require your data to do so. It would be considered a datbase repair. Even then, we cannot guarantee it, but you would not be charged if it cannot be done.

If you are interested in this option, you should contact our Database Repair department, at (604) 736-3741 or you can email datarepair@softrak.com .

If you would like Technical Support to look into this further, we would still require your data, but you would need to sign up on a support plan. To get more information on this please contact our Customer Service Department at the number above, or you can again email them at customerservice@softrak.com .

The most current version of Fixed Assets is V6.5A (010330). Upgrading to this version would not correct your problem, but there are new features that have been implemented to correct certain other issues that you may find handy.

Regards,
Softrak Support

Hello Joanna,

No, processing a Short year will not cause data corruption.

From your description, the program does not think that any of the depreciation for 2001 (July 2000 to June 2001), has been posted.

Processing a Short year will cause the program to create prospective adjustments on all assets that have been affected by the Short year. You will also have an opportunity to set the New Fiscal Year and First Month of the New Fiscal Year.

If you have a good backup of the data, it doesn't hurt to try it.
