Fiscal Years

FirstOffice has a multi-year database. In this setting you can define several financial years. Each year must have a Code, and can be between 6 and 18 months in duration. The Code will be used as a prefix for Transactions entered directly to the Transaction register.

To open this setting, click [Settings] in the Master Control panel or select 'Settings' from the File menu, and then double-click 'Fiscal Years' in the 'Settings' list. To save changes and close the window, click the [Save] button. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.

Note that you should always list your Fiscal Years in chronological order as shown in the illustration. You should not attempt to insert a new Fiscal Year at the top of the list, and you should not remove past Fiscal Years.

FirstOffice will issue a warning whenever you try to post a transaction whose date does not fall in a Fiscal Year as defined in this setting.
