I have an Adagio FX prospect who is currently using QuickBooks. I want to make absolutely sure FX will work for them before I sell it to them, because they have an unusual situation.

Each fiscal year consists of thirteen 4-week periods. Thus the period end dates in the current year do not exactly match the period ends in the prior year.

Their income statement has a column for QTD and a column for prior year QTD. How will FX feed the prior year figures into the proper periods? If you say it has to do with the Prior Fiscal Year ending dates in Profile, as I suspect it does, are you absolutely sure? I would hate to spend hours to convert their financial statements to find out that the retrieval doesn't work properly.

A few other questions. Is there a way to transfer the Current Fiscal Year ending dates to the Prior Fiscal Year ending dates? I don't see a Year-End Processing function. Also, since this prospect manages many identical GL's, would it be possible to copy the AFDATE'I.xxx file to other datasets once one company's fiscal calendar is updated?

Thanks

Steve
