- W A R N I N G - This program shifts sales information from one year to the next to build the previous years information in the Item Monthly History. Run this at the end of the CALENDAR YEAR ONLY, NOT the FISCAL YEAR (if different) !!! Do not run it more than once a year or you will lose data and need to rebuild it, assuming the O/E item history file goes back at least three years to make that possible. Selectable ranges are item # and warehouse #.

GENERAL LEDGER:

BEFORE closing the year end in G/L: General Ledger can be re-opened for one prior year only. For example: if it is January 2012 & you are closing G/L for 2011, you will only be able to re-open the 2011 G/L. You will NOT be able to re-open 2010 G/L. So you will not be able to print a G/L trial balance, G/L Income statement or Balance sheet for 2010. If 2010 G/L data is needed for printing of reports contact us An extra G/L company can be created for 2010 (in this example). In this example, once the 2011 G/L is closed, the 2010 G/L company can’t be created. So it is important to contact us with this request before closing the year in G/L.
