AM192


AM192 - Short Year Close

**Form purpose
Run Short Year Close (AM192) when the fiscal year for your company has been
changed,  resulting in a year that is less than 12 months. Run this program
instead of the normal period-end program (AM190).

**Prerequisites
Before you run this program, make sure that the following steps have been
performed:

-  You have released all asset records (AM170).
-  You have calculated the current period depreciation (AM180).
-  You have determined whether the 40tax rule applies to you (AM220), and
if so, you have adjusted your tax books accordingly (AM125).
-  You have run all the reports to make sure your asset entries are accurate
and made any corrections necessary.
-  You have backed up your data (strongly recommended).

**Procedure
You must specify either a company or company group and at least one book on
which to run this report. You can select up to 5 books, and for each book,
that you select, you must specify a new year end date.

**Decision/Impact
Run AM192 with the Release option turned to No first to check the results
without posting them.
: Once you run AM192 with the Release option set to Yes, AM192 is
irreversible, which is why you should back up your data before running the
program.

**More help
For information on short-year calculations, see chapter 4 of the Asset
Management Procedures Manual.

After you run AM192, perform the following steps:
1.  Run your year-end reports (you cannot run them once the year is closed).
2.  Back up your data (strongly recommended).
3.  Close the year, using Year End Close (AM195).
