COM1085 - Accounting periods: company accounting periods: using MAPD to create more than 5 APs

It is July 2024 and you want to amend the AP (Accounting Period) record of a company for the periods from 01/04/2019 to 31/12/2024. The existing record and the actual and expected APs are as follows:

Recorded APs

Actual and Expected APs


01/04/2019 to 31/03/2020

01/01/2019 to 31/12/2019

01/04/2020 to 31/03/2021

01/01/2020 to 31/12/2020

01/04/2021 to 31/03/2022

01/01/2021 to 31/12/2021

01/04/2022 to 31/03/2023

01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022

01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024

01/01/2023 to 31/12/2023

 

01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024


Function MAPD (Maintain AP Dates) will not let you make the changes in one operation because it:

·         will not let you enter more than five new APs at a time

·         demands that the end date of the last AP you enter either:

·          coincides with that of a currently recorded AP shown on the screen

·          is later than that of any currently recorded AP

 

In these circumstances, you have to use the function twice. The first time you could amend the AP record to

01/01/2019 to 31/12/2019

01/01/2020 to 31/12/2020

01/01/2021 to 31/12/2021

01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022

01/01/2023 to 31/03/2023


Please note that the last AP is a 바카라 사이트˜dummy바카라 사이트™ AP terminating on the same date as an existing AP shown on the screen.

You then use Function MAPD again to change the 바카라 사이트˜dummy바카라 사이트™ AP and add the final AP to the record as follows:

01/01/2023 to 31/12/2023

01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024


Remember that if the accounting period ends in February you should end the period on 29/02.
