How can I change fiscal year setup data on this screen?

Edits to the data fields on this screen should be made with extreme caution, as changes can significantly affect depreciation calculations and produce unexpected results.

  • You can change the data in the Description field at any time.
  • You cannot actually change the data in the Fiscal Year field, as you must first procedurally delete the unwanted fiscal year and then add the desired fiscal year.
  • If a fiscal year is currently in use in another table (for example, it has been written to the FA_POSTING_DETL or ASSET_AUDIT_LOG table) and/or the fiscal year exists on the Manage Fixed Asset Accounting Periods screen, you cannot delete that fiscal year from this screen.

In these circumstances, the only method by which you can delete the fiscal year is to run one of the following purges, as applicable to the situation:

  • Purge All Asset Information
  • Purge Asset/Template Change History
  • Purge Other Books Depreciation History
  • Purge Posted Transactions Detail
