must equal zero (debits equal credits).

Accounting Periods
Accounting periods are set up when you create your company during New 
Company Setup. Once you have defined your accounting periods, you cannot 
change the structure of the periods. You can only change the current 
accounting period, moving forwards or backwards within the structure 
already established.
Peachtree Accounting allows up to 26 open periods. This allows you to have 
last year’s history available for editing or adjusting throughout the current 
fiscal year. You can work in the second year without closing the first year.
➤ 
To view the current accounting period, look at the status bar.
