GL500 - Fiscal Year Change

**Form purpose
Run Fiscal Year Change (GL500) to change the value of the current accounting
period and fiscal year for your Lawson General Ledger company. All account
balances, transaction history, and budget information are adjusted to
correspond with the new accounting period and fiscal year.

You should run all financial statements and back up the database before you
run this program. After you run the program, you must rebuild consolidated
account balances, using Consolidated Balances (GL320). Then, run the new
financial  statements and  compare them to  the statements produced before the
change.  Finally, verify  that the  period-end dates assigned in the Calendar
form tab  of GL10.1  (Company) are  appropriate.
