Jim2 can manage databases trading over two consecutive financial years, however you need to close financial years to maintain accurate records. This information also relates to the following (or similar) message being displayed:
While Jim2 allows you to have two financial years running concurrently, there is a way to temporarily override this, but you must be extremely careful, as this overrides all date control and security over date control in your Jim2 database.
Go to Tools > Global Variables, add as shown below, then save.
 |
Once you add the global variable, it means that users can mistakenly date something in any past financial year that has not been closed off (or any date in the future), thereby creating problems in the database. |
We cannot stress enough that:
▪This is intended as a temporary measure until you can close the financial year(s).
▪Everyone using the system must take extreme care with dates from now until you are ready to disable this again.
▪You should make closing off the earlier financial year(s) a priority.
To disable the global variable, edit it and change the value to False (or delete it).
