Changing Year End in SAGE Line

System

HI<BR><BR>I am going to see my friends tomorrow. They used to be partners in business but then they set a ltd company last year.<BR>Any way the old business Y/E was 30 June 2003 (ceased) but the company P/E they got is 31 DEC 2003 (first accounts).<BR><BR>Now the problem is that they did not know that the y/e has changed and did the SAGE Y/E like usual ie 30 June 2004 also for the company and now they have to prepare accounts only for the first SIX months (until 31-12-03)<BR><BR>I know how to get the first 6 months info for the Company account from the Y/E 30-6-04 backups. But what is the proper procedure to change the Y/E date to 31/12 without any complications.<BR><BR>(that would be puting toghather the first 6 six of this year to the rest. Which they are already oprating at the moment. And the Y/E in SAGE is 30-6-05 which should be 31-12-04)<BR><BR>I hope I made it clear. <BR><BR>Thanks for reading<BR><BR>MahaRaj<BR>

Changing Year End in SAGE Line

Hello. <BR><BR>I don't think it matters on Sage when your year end is, as you have to specify that when you first install Sage. <BR><BR>However if they are using the same Sage for the new company on their computers as the old company, I would have (originally) suggested that they open on Sage a New Company. This way it deals with them as separate entities.<BR><BR>But as i said originally, you can tell Sage that your year end is 18th Feb if that's what you want! (that's only an example, nothing special about 18/2!!)<BR><BR>Hope that's sufficient....probably not!<BR><BR>Helen x<BR>
