Why the updated end date of accounting period on source entity is not synced to target entity?

[Eva]

Question: 

We updated the end date of the open accounting period in the source entity. However, this adjustment is not synced to the corresponding accounting period in the target entity.

[Eva · Accepted solution]

Possible Cause:

There may be some revenue associated with the accounting period in the target entity. 

Some testings may be performed in the target entity and generated revenue schedule. Revenue recognition is based on accounting period settings, once there is revenue recognized in this accounting period, we do not allow the date to be changed.

Suggestion:

1. First Make sure the shared object setting of the accounting period is “Auto Accept” under target entity -> Administration -> "Manage Entity Sharing Settings".
2. You need re-distribute the revenue recognized in this accounting period to open-ended accounting period first.
   
   You can run a trial balance of this accounting period, then check Revenue Details report to find out how much revenue for each revenue schedule has been recognized in this accounting period, and those revenue schedules are the ones you need to do revenue redistribution.
• To re-distribute a single revenue schedule, simply click the 'distribute revenue' button in revenue schedule UI, then follow the below document:

• If there are a lot of revenue schedules need to do this, you can also use Mass Updater to update revenue schedule in mass. For more details of Mass Updater, you can refer to the instruction in our knowledge centre:

Then the latest end date of accounting period on source entity will be synced to target entity automatically.
