Is it possible to automate the setup of accounting periods? I'd like to be able to have the system generate the next year once we reach the first quarter of the current year.

There's already functionality to create a full year at once. Takes a few mins to do

Right, is that something that can be configured with automation so that it doesn't require human interaction?

I don't know. Any dev time would take longer than a human creating 20 years of periods, so I don't see the point in automating 🙂 (Sorry!)

lol that's fair, I guess we could just create them all and edit as needed
