Then in GL, post the imported journals and close the periods. Ideally close the whole fiscal year... Marian Bill,

How do we now GL, AR, AP and more are truly healthy transaction and integrity wise? Is there a work-around for periods that are opened due to previous transactions?

How could we go about adding the additional three months to the current calendar? All of the current fiscal year calendars have budget data in them already. Would we need to change the AR, AP OPM calendars or would the GL calendar only be the issue? Our company wants to switch from a 9/30 fiscal year end to a calendar year.

Right now we use a 4-4-5 Jan to Dec but going forward we would like to do a monthly Jan to Dec. So period names and number of periods are staying the same but the dates are changing. Would we have to do the whole change through Oracle support/ scripts updates or would there be an easier front end approach. Thanks HI, we want to change our period dates.

Please advise.
