In this example, the current posting period is November 2016 and the new year end is to be 31 December 2016.  We need to spread the last 7 months of the 2016/2017 year over the December 2016 month by editing the table GL_Config.  Please ensure you test this out in a copy of the database before implementing in the live database.  Follow these steps for databases 7.01.00 and higher.

1. • edit the table GL_Config editing the record where field YearStartingDate = 2016-07-01 

...

1. • update the fields in this record by changing the relevant PeriodStart dates e.g. PeriodStart7 = 04/12/2016, PeriodStart8 = 9/12/2016, PeriodStart9 = 13/12/2016, PeriodStart10 = 17/12/2016, PeriodStart11= 23/12/2016, PeriodStart12 = 27/12/2016 (these dates are just suggestions - discuss what works for the client)
   • edit table GL_Config editing the record where YearStartingDate = 2017-07-01
   • change the fields in this record by changing the relevant PeriodStart dates e.g. PeriodStart1 = 01/01/2017, PeriodStart2 = 01/02/2017
   • then run usp_Jiwa_GL_Repost and usp_Jiwa_GL_UpdateParents to update the movement table with the new reporting periods
