Year End Date / Year Begin Date

Represents the fiscal year end and begin dates of the file. Click the drop-down to select a date from the popup calendar. Click View Dates to see the year end and year begin dates for up to 13 periods.

During a year end close, the year end date automatically advances by one year.

Reporting Period Date Sequences

Select the applicable period date sequence(s). If you use any period date sequence other than random, the period dates automatically calculate based on the year end date. If you select a random date sequence, you must enter the period dates manually by clicking Setup. Random dates can be used for irregular fiscal periods, if applicable.

If you select more than one reporting period date sequence, the method which balances are computed (either based on another period date sequence or independent) and the method of entry or calculation of period balances (found on the Period Balances tab) allow for different reporting options.

Balances can be independent or computed from another date sequence. When computing balances from another period date sequence all balances from the necessary periods of the selected period date sequence are totaled. Independent date sequences only include balances that are associated with that date sequence. Period date sequences without the option to compute from another date sequence are effectively independent.

Current Period Date Sequence

Select the default date sequence used by the file. Only the enabled Reporting Period Date Sequences are available.

Current Active Period

Enter the current period of the selected period date sequence.

Select a method to use for entry or calculation of period balances.

• Allow entry of period balances in Working Trial Balance (Other Entries will be disabled): Users can input only period balances into the Working Papers file, not actual transaction level activity.
• Allow transaction entry in Other Entries screen (period balances will be calculated): Users can enter actual transaction level changes into the Working Papers file.

Period Date Sequence for Other Entries Screen

If you selected Allow transaction entry in Other Entries screen, the year-to-date and/or period balances displays on the main level of the Trial Balance. For period balances, the year-to-date and/or period balances display on drill downs only.
