I need to reconfigure fiscal start and end dates. Can you share best practices to do this?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To reconfigure fiscal start and end dates in NetSuite, you would need to create a "stump year". A stump year is a short fiscal year that is used when an organization wants to change its fiscal year-end. Here are the steps to do this: 1. Go to Setup > Company > Fiscal Years. 2. Click New Fiscal Year. 3. Enter the Start Date and End Date for the stump year. The start date should be the day after the end of your last fiscal year, and the end date should be the day before your new fiscal year starts. 4. Click Save. Please note that once you have transactions in a fiscal year, you cannot change the start or end dates of that fiscal year. Also, you cannot delete a fiscal year that has transactions. For the fiscal weeks in a saved search, you can use a formula to offset the date and then use a

to_char({the offset date}, ’YYYY-IW’)

or similar. For example, if your fiscal year starts in September, you could use

add_months({trandate},9)

to offset the date. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
