You must be a System Administrator to perform this step on your live system. Since you are working in the tutorial, you automatically have system administrator rights. It is important for you to complete this step to make the rest of the tutorial work properly.
Go to Setup > Options > Fiscal Year and change the fiscal period for the current date to 3.
Click OK to post the change and close the dialog box.
The Fiscal Period is used only in the General Ledger Module. All other activity on the system works with calendar months, even when it involves the General Ledger. The Fiscal Year Setup dialog box provides the Xebra with the information needed to make the appropriate conversions.
Xebra can run Cash Basis Accounting, Accrual Basis Accounting, or both. There are two separate General Ledgers and Summary Journals available. If you run both methods side by side, you must use the same chart of accounts for both. You need to indicate whether you want to use Cash Basis Accounting or Accrual Basis Accounting for General Ledger Reporting.
From the Setup Node, choose Options > System Environment.
Click on the appropriate check box to choose the accounting method(s) you prefer. In your live Xebra system, this will default to Accrual Basis.
