Book Calendars

Synchronizes the periods in the fixed asset subledger with those in the general ledger.

For all companies, if you click this command, the system checks if periods in the posting book are synchronized with the GL periods by comparing the start and end dates of the periods with the same ID, regardless of the status of the periods. If the periods are synchronized, the system returns an error message.

If the periods in the posting book and in the general ledger are not synchronized, the system checks if there are any released and unreleased transactions in the posting book and returns an error message if such transactions are found.

When synchronizing the periods, the system performs the following actions:

• Deletes years and periods in the fixed asset book starting from the period following the most recent period that was synchronized.
• Deletes the FABookHistory table for depreciable assets in the posting book starting from the period following the most recent period that was synchronized.
• In the fixed asset book, creates the years and periods that are missing in the posting book calendar, by copying the years and periods from the general ledger.
• Generates new fixed asset years based on the template until the last calendar year that used to be in the posting book before synchronization plus 1. If there is a gap between the start date of the first generated period and the end date of the last period copied from GL, the system sets the start date of this period to the end date of the previous period to ensure that there are no gaps in the calendar. The same action is performed for the years.
• Recalculates the FABookBalance.DeprToPeriod field for active and suspended depreciable assets for which the Depr. to Period setting on the Balance tab of the Fixed Assets (FA303000) form is later than or equal to the first out-of-sync period.
• Updates the asset's current period with the period that follows the most recent depreciation period (to handle the case when this period has been deleted).
• For active and suspended depreciable assets, calculates depreciation up to the current period if this period was not synchronized.

The system will recalculate and post depreciation transactions and other types of fixed asset transactions based on the amended periods.

This box appears on the form when Multiple Calendar Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and a posting book is selected in the Book box. By default, this box displays the company of the current branch.

When the Multiple Calendar Support feature is disabled, the periods in the posting book are identical in all companies.
