Current Financial Settings
The Current Financial Settings allows you to change the current Company, Fiscal Year, Period, Bank Account, and Credit Card for your user within the program.
The current settings are used when performing most functions. Click the change link at the top within any application to display the Current Financial Settings window. Make your selections using the drop-down lists and click the OK button to change the current settings or the Cancel link to return to the previous page.
