Why don’t I see period zero (00/YY) in Checkout?

If you are completing your year-end steps for General Ledger, one of the steps is to run Checkout for period zero.  There are times when you cannot see period zero and you are only seeing periods from the prior fiscal year.  This is because your current GL period is still set to a period in the prior fiscal year.  To fix this, follow these steps:

 

- Go to General Ledger.

- Go to Organization | Change Current Period.

- In the Change current period to section, change the Period to a month in the new fiscal year.

- Click GO.

- Click Yes to close Change Current Period.

 

Go back into Checkout and you should now see period zero.
