Master Calendar Generation

In MYOB Advanced, you can post transactions to periods that are open or to both open and closed periods (depending on the conditions described in Closing Financial Periods: General Information). You generate financial periods on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form and invoke actions that open Manage Financial Periods (GL503000) form with the appropriate action selected in the Action box. On this form, you can process periods with the selected action to change their statuses.

Generating the Master Calendar

After you have performed the initial setup, you generate a master financial calendar on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form for any number of financial years by clicking Generate Calendar on the form toolbar. For details on how to generate periods, see To Generate Periods for New Financial Years in Master Calendar.

When periods have been generated, you can modify them before any transactions have been made. To do so, you select the User-Defined Periods check box. For details about modifying periods, see Modification of Periods for a Year.

After you have generated the master calendar, you open any number of periods for posting.
