Activate Modules, Accounting Periods, and Fiscal Years

Use the Activate Modules page to verify the Deltek applications that you plan to use and to set up your starting accounting period and fiscal year.

To activate modules:

1. Click Activate Modules.
2. On the Activate Modules screen, validate that the module list includes all of the applications that your enterprise is licensed to use. If any applications are missing, contact Deltek Operations for help.
3. If you are licensed to use the Accounting module, click the Fiscal Period tab.
4. Enter your starting accounting period and fiscal year.

   This is the first accounting period and fiscal year in which you will enter history or process data in Deltek.

   Assume, for example, that you are setting up Deltek in April 2017, and your fiscal year runs form January to December. You may choose to enter historical data for January through March of 2017, so that you can track data and produce reports for the entire fiscal year. In this case, you would say that your first accounting period is January and your first fiscal year is 2017. Alternatively, you may decide to enter history for the entire prior year, in which case your first accounting period is January and your first fiscal year is 2016.

   Once you begin using Deltek, you will maintain a calendar of accounting periods, opening and closing periods as the year progresses. To learn more about this process, see the Accounting Periods and Processing Cycles help topic.

5. Click Save and then click Done Activating Modules.
