GL36.1 - Fiscal Year Mapping

Use GL36.1 (Fiscal Year Mapping) to map the fiscal calendar of a company to
that of a reporting company with a different fiscal calendar. Run this program
to  complement GL130 (Create Chart Map), which maps the chart of accounts of a
posting (From) company to the chart of accounts of a reporting (To) company
with a different chart of accounts, and GL35.1 (Chart Map maintenance), which
enables you to fine-tune the  resulting  chart map.

To post balances from all the posting companies to the reporting company to
which they are mapped, run GL199 (Period  Closing)  on each posting (From)
company, then  run GL135 (Intercompany Chart Map  Posting) on each posting
company.  After you  have run GL135 on all the posting companies that are
mapped to the reporting company,  run  GL190 (Journal  Posting) on the
reporting company.
