Item Setup - [Accounting year] tab

1. Entering the accounting year
   Enter the "Accounting year" from the keyboard.  This operation automatically sets the checkbox for "Current year" to ON, and it cannot be changed thereafter.

• Accounting year
  Enter the accounting year.  If you enter a previous or future year that has already been registered, the details of the registration appear on the display.
  An absence of data for the accounting year you entered indicates the need for a new registration, and all the items are cleared.  Whenever no data is available for the accounting year, the checkbox for "Current year" is automatically set to ON.  Therefore you have to enter the current year.
  Click on "Save" before entering any data for a different accounting year.

• Terms 1 to 6 for the next accounting year must be fully consistent with terms 1 to 6 in the next year's record.
