You also need to specify a fiscal year for your company. We 
recommend that you ask your accountant to help you select a 
fiscal year suitable for your company and type of business. 

 

Simply Accounting uses certain significant dates to help protect 
your data, save time, and prevent errors. Some of these dates set 
limits on the entries you can add and delete. 

Earliest Transaction Date.  The earliest date on which you can 
process transactions for the current fiscal year. If you’re setting up 
Simply Accounting for the first time, this is usually the day on 
which you convert from your former accounting system, the date 
for which you have a complete, balanced set of data.  

Latest Transaction Date.  The latest date on which you have 
processed transactions for the current fiscal year.  

Session Date.  The date associated with the current work session, 
usually today’s date. You enter this date when you start Simply 
Accounting, and the program uses it as the transaction date 
unless you change it when you make an entry. 

Transaction Date.  You can process transactions in the past or the 
future if needed. In the Home window, choose Setup, System 
Settings, Settings, then the System tab. Check the Allow 
Transactions In Previous Year or

 

Allow Transactions in The Future 

box. (You need to do this only once.)  

1.  In the Home window, on the Setup menu, choose System 

Settings, then Company Information.
