Posting to the Previous Period

During the first period of the new fiscal year, postings can still be made to the last period of the previous year. Note that you must therefore close inventory adjustment postings for the previous
year before the end of the first period of the new fiscal year.

If, at the time of a fiscal year change, you reset the number range in the new fiscal year, you must maintain separate number range intervals for the previous year and for the current year for one
month to allow postings to the prior period.

If only one number range interval exists for both years and you make any postings to the previous period, the system will assign numbers that already exist in the previous year. This would lead to an update termination.
