What is the best method for setting a period close after the actual period close date?

SUGGESTED

Hello,

I forgot to set the period close date when we closed our fiscal year.  We have since run four months of depreciation, with no "reset date" that will work for resetting, running a period close, and then re-running depreciation for the affected assets.

I backed up the company and experimented by "forcing re-calc" through the end of (prior-year) fiscal period 11, then re-running period 12.  The "Depreciation this run" for period 12 on my re-run tied to the actual period12 run; however, the "Curr YTD" and "Curr Accum" numbers were off by a very, very small amount.  I am not worried so much about the value, but more concerned with tying reports, Beg Accum, etc.

I also tried just setting the period close, and of course, it did not work.  I created a few groups to see if I could reset to the prior-year's close date, but the system does not seem to return the actual number of assets we have in our system.

Does anyone have a better idea of how this task should be performed?

Thanks!

Ben
