Change accounting dates Sage 50

Hello,

I closed my previous accounting period, the carryovers were automatically transferred, and I started entering the following entries. Until I realized that the closing date of fiscal year N-1 and the starting date of fiscal year N were incorrect and impossible to modify.

I searched the internet and tried several methods to change this, but nothing worked.

On the Sage website, they recommend creating a new file by importing the data from fiscal year N. Is this a good solution? In this case, fiscal year N-1 will still have an incorrect end date, is that a problem?

Thank you very much in advance :)

    Hello

    The incorrect closing date of the previous year constitutes a problem.
    The FEC (bookkeeping entries file), which is required in the event of a tax audit, is necessarily erroneous, as are all associated files (ledgers, trial balance, closing balance).
    These files are accessible through the menu:
    Processing/Accounting Verification DGFIP/DGFIP Backup Consultation
    The different closed fiscal years appear.
    The FEC is the first file of each closed fiscal year (with a title consisting of the SIREN, the word FEC, and then the closing date). It must contain all the entries for the relevant fiscal year, and only those.

    The best solution, in my opinion, would be to export the entries and after a new backup, restore the last backup preceding the closing, and then import the entries recorded since that backup (without the closing and reopening entries).

    Best regards
