The
whole fiscal vs calendar year problem is a mess. What you want to do depends on
what you are using eBase for. We have development people who are only interested
in calendar year data and financial people who are only interested in fiscal
year data. There is actually a third possibilty that some people have said they
would like, namely "last year (dynamic)".
Ideally ebase would compute all of these numbers and make them all
available and/or configurable as to which you see. You need to ask your users
which numbers they would like to see since currently they can only see one of
them. In other words, even if you are changing your finances to fiscal year, you
may want to leave eBase in calendar year mode.

Subject: [support] Change of fiscal year
We're on a short 9-month year, which will end Sept 30th, then are moving from a straight calendar year to Oct 1 - Sept 30th fiscal year. The fiscal year totals, of course, are off now, and are driving me nuts.
What are the ramifications/implications of changes, especially in comparisons. I assume, that once the change is made, the amounts will recalculate according to the new fiscal year....Or, are the prior dollar amounts, by year, are they set in stone and aren't calculated fields? And, how do I do the change?
thanks!!
