Our company was acquired and I need to have two period 9s one from 8/25-9/13 with a closing to retained earnings and another from 9/14-9/28 with zero opening P&L balances.
I am building a pilot instance to hold the final data from 9/13, but need to work out how to zero out mid period.
I do not have Multi-book if that would help, so how can I do this?
I don’t think there will ever be a way to have “two period 9s” because the period number is a unique and sequential number.
Would you be able to modify your 2024 fiscal year in the calendar to end in period 9 on 9/13/2024 and then create a new fiscal year 2024 with a suffix B with periods from 9/14/2024 to the end of the year?
That would give you 0 starting balances on the P&L but you’d likely have to modify some financial reports to get the full year’s financials, if needed.
Did this recently for someone who was transitioning to new owners. @gpayne be aware that since the fiscal year 2024 ended on 9/13, there will need to be a year-end on 2024 and a year end on 2024/B in December.
