Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Financial Enhancements: Expand the view of fiscal periods

This post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Financial Enhancements series where I am going hands on with the financial enhancements of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The second financial enhancement is to the Fiscal Period Setup window (Administration area page » Setup » Company » Fiscal periods) where the length has been extended to give you an expanded view of the fiscal periods:

As every company I work with has had at least 12 periods, it always annoyed me that the window only shows the first 8 and you had to scroll. This will make life easier for clients when they are closing or opening periods at month end as well as for those who have financial periods which are not based on a calendar month (I have a few operating a 4-4-5 weekly cycle).
