Accounting Period Setup

vasilis6669

Hi,

I am trying to setup a company that sells I.T. services.

I created a new company filled in the required information. According to the Setup check list the next step is the setup the accounting period.

when i click on the Form Accounting Periods (Administration--> Application Setup--> Financial Management) I receive the following error: there is no Accounting Period within the filter
Filters: Starting Date : >=

How do i setup the starting date in the filter?

Is there any step by step guide on how to setup a company that sells service?

Thanks.

There is a bugfix for this look here for the answer:
http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21028&highlight=

or look at the code below:
You need to replace the code in Table 5814 Inventory Period, Function IsInvtPeriodClosed:

Old Code:

AccPeriod.SETFILTER("Starting Date",'>=%1',EndingDate);
AccPeriod.FINDFIRST;
IF AccPeriod.NEXT <> 0 THEN
  EndingDate := CALCDATE('<-1D>',AccPeriod."Starting Date");

SETFILTER("Ending Date",'>=%1',EndingDate);
SETRANGE(Closed,TRUE);
EXIT(NOT ISEMPTY);

New code:

AccPeriod.SETFILTER("Starting Date",'>=%1',EndingDate);
IF NOT(AccPeriod.FINDFIRST) THEN
  EXIT(FALSE);
IF AccPeriod.NEXT <> 0 THEN
  EndingDate := CALCDATE('<-1D>',AccPeriod."Starting Date");

SETFILTER("Ending Date",'>=%1',EndingDate);
SETRANGE(Closed,TRUE);
EXIT(NOT ISEMPTY);

You can thank Luc Van Dyk for this one :-)

Thanks both of you guys,

Now I can open the accounting period form.

How do the acounting periods and inventory period work? My backgroung in accounting is limited.

Also, i created an accounting period and it was locked by mistake. I receive the following message when trying to delete the record. "Date Locked must be No in accounting Period Starting Date =01/01/2008"
