General Ledger Q&A: Changing the Beginning Fiscal Month

January 2020    Tags: General Ledger

The beginning of our financial year is currently set to January; however, we consider November to be the beginning of our financial year. How can we change this?

You can change the Beginning Fiscal Month, which will determine the order in which months will print on financial reports, as well as Quarter-to-Date (QTD) and Year-to-Date (YTD) figures.

To change the Beginning Fiscal Month

1. From the Utilities menu, select Edit GLS Client.
2. Select the desired Beginning Fiscal Month.
3. Press Ctrl+S.
