ARCHIVED: Why can't I edit the fiscal year-end date?

• Not in single-user mode.
• Posted a transaction to the next year.
  • This applies only for the Premium or Quantum versions.

Switch to single-user mode:

• Refer to article: What are the things that I cannot do while in multiuser or when other windows are open?

Sage 50 Accounting Premium and Quantum:

• You can enable posting both general journal entries or paycheques into the future year (fiscal and calendar respectively)
• This option only applies to Premium or Quantum versions 2013 or later
• Make sure that there’s no transaction posted in to a future year
• To be able to see transactions posted in the future year, you’ll have to:
  1. Make sure that you open the file as a user with full accounting rights.
  2. From the main window of Sage 50, click Reports, Journal entries or Transactions details > All...
  3. On the report option window, click the drop-down list beside Report on Fiscal year.
  4. Check if you have the Next Fiscal year showing on the list.
  5. If you have Next Fiscal year (20XX):
     • Then you can't edit the Fiscal End date of your current fiscal year
     • Workaround: you’ll have to restore from a backup before the transaction you posted in that year
