Maintaining year-end parameters

Use the Maintain Year End Parameters action to copy parameters from one year to the next, and from one legal entity to another legal entity. You can also delete all parameters or copy them to another year.

A report shows the year-end parameters that are copied or deleted. If existing records are replaced, the replaced values and descriptions are printed to the report. If errors are displayed, no updates are made and the errors are printed to an error report.
