Yes, I thought that there might have been some changes from the time the instructions were written.

Thank you very much Student and Joe for the suggestions and steps. I will explore the phpMyAdmin option. TO start off I will do it in the front end using the steps given by Joe.

Thanks again.

Hi,
I tried the steps in the wiki page, and here is where i am facing the problem:

My fiscal year should be 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2012

1. I first create a dummy fiscal year which is 1st Jan 2010 to 31st Dec 2010.
2. I make this as the active fiscal year
3. Now, if i try to delete the current fiscal year which 1st Jan 2011 to 31st Dec 2011, it says there are fiscal years before that so cannot delete this one

I am sure I am doing something wrong but not able to figure out what that is.

Hello,
I am new to FA and am from India. Here the Financial Year goes from April 1st to March 31st. Is there was I can change the start and end of the fiscal to the above dates. As of now if I try to set these are the start and end dates, It says invalid start and end date.

Please suggest what I can do about this.
