Financial years

On the Financial years page, all existing financial years for the customer are displayed. Here, you can create, edit and delete financial years.

The financial years are created automatically when you import the accounting data.

You can edit the start and end date of a financial year by selecting Edit. This can be useful for example when the financial year is changed in the ERP system or if the company is to be liquidated.

If a company is to be liquidated, a preliminary determination can be made in Period & Year.

This is done under Settings - Financial years. Click on the edit pen for the period to be pre-determined, enter the current end date and check the box for the company to be pre-determined. Please note that periods after the specified date will be deleted permanently.

The date for preliminary determination must be set before opening the Year-end closing period.

  • Start date can be changed for the first financial year

  • End date can be changed for the last financial year

  • If you have only one year you can edit both the start and end date, but not at the same time

If you want to delete a financial year, select Delete. When deleting a financial year all data connected to that year will be removed. You can only delete the last year.

Reset accounting data

When you reset the data all accounting data is deleted and you need to import the original data again from desired import source, such as eAccounting, a SIE4 file or a SAF-T file. Manually added data, for example journal entries, checks or appendices, will be permanently deleted.
