Accounting Setup​

CATS allows the user to define a monthly period. The periods are used when Isolating a period and for the Accounting Recalculation, which accumulates the end-of-month totals for the G/L. Go to Maintenance > General Maintenance> Account Update > Setup

Periods 1 thru 12 can be changed to the date needed. If the accounting periods are changed then the accounting recalculation must be done to accumulate the correct amounts for each period. Periods 13 through 18 cannot be changed.
