Adding and deleting workpaper periods

You need to add a workpaper period before you can do other tasks like creating workpapers and year-end journals. 

If you make an error when creating a workpaper period, you can delete the workpaper period and add it again.

To add an annual or periodic workpaper period

A workpaper period can be for an annual financial period or for a custom financial period based on a periodic general ledger. For example, a monthly or quarterly period.

The GST accounts mandatory check isn't included any more. If you don't use GST calculations for a particular workpaper period, you won't be prompted to define GST accounts.

  1. Click the Client Accounting > Workpapers tab.
  2. On the Tasks bar, click Add period. The New Workpaper Period Configuration window appears.
  3. In the Date range section, fill in:
    • the Description of the workpaper. This can be up to 100 characters.
    • the Starting from and Ending on dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
  4. Click Add.
    The new period is created and the Prepare Trial Balance (Workpapers) window appears.
  5. Repeat the procedure for each reporting period that you will prepare.

To delete a workpaper period

If you're running AE/AO version 5.4.22 or later, you can delete workpaper periods with a status of In Progress where the period has:

  • no comments
  • no journals
  • no to do items
  • no attached workpapers or documents.

If these items exist in the workpaper period, they'll have to be deleted manually first.

  1. Click the Client Accounting > Workpapers or Trial Balance tab.

  2. In the Select Period table, click the period that you want to delete.

  3. On the Tasks bar, click Delete period. The Confirm Delete Workpaper window appears.
  4. Click Yes. The workpaper period is deleted.
