Fiscal year and its customization in Salesforce.
A fiscal year or financial year is a period of time used to
calculate annual (yearly) financial statements in businesses and other
organizations. The system administrator can set the fiscal year for your
organization. The fiscal year settings are used to report on the fiscal year
timeline.
Salesforce supports two types of fiscal years:
- Standard fiscal year
- Custom fiscal year
Standard fiscal
year
Salesforce provides the Gregorian calendar as the standard fiscal
year calendar by default. But this is not the same for every organization as
some organizations use different calendars and need to change the fiscal year
start month, for example, for the fiscal year starting in April, the standard
fiscal year is used. Standard fiscal years can start on the first day of any
month. Additionally, it can be defined whether the fiscal year is based on the
start or end of the selected month.
To set up a standard fiscal year for your organization, follow
these steps:
1. Navigate to Setup | Administer | Company
Profile | Fiscal Year.
2. Select the option of Standard Fiscal Year.
3. Select the start month for the fiscal year.
4. Choose whether the fiscal year is defined based on the end or
start of the month as shown in the following screenshot:
5. Optionally, you can select Apply
to all Forecasts and Quotas if you want to apply the new fiscal year
settings to your existing forecasts and quotas. This option may or may not be
available depending on your forecast settings.
6. Click on Save.
Custom fiscal
year
The custom fiscal year option is used when the standard fiscal
year does not meet the organization's requirements. To use the custom fiscal
year, the system administrator has to enable it. Complex fiscal year structures
can be achieved using the custom fiscal year option. Enabling custom fiscal
years does not automatically define them. You must define all of your company's
custom fiscal years so that they fit your company's calendar.
To set up a custom fiscal year for your organization, follow these
steps:
1. Navigate to Setup | Administer | Company
Profile | Fiscal Year.
2. Select the option of Custom Fiscal Year.
3. Select the checkbox next to the statement Yes, I understand
the implications the custom fiscal year feature has on my organization and I
want to enable it.
4. Click on Enable Custom Fiscal Years.
5. Click on OK.
Note: Enabling custom fiscal years is not reversible. After enabling
custom fiscal years, you cannot revert to standard fiscal years . Before
enabling the custom fiscal years, make sure that you have exported any data
related to the fiscal periods.
Defining a new
custom fiscal year
To define a new custom fiscal year for your organization, follow
these steps:
1. Navigate to Setup | Administer | Company
Profile | Fiscal Year.
2. Click on New. It will open a Custom Fiscal Year
Template window to set up a new custom fiscal year:
3. In the template window, you
can choose a template type based on your needs. Click on Continue and
you are done.
4. The next step is to set the
fiscal year start date. For this, enter the fiscal year name and choose the
start day of the week. Here, you can reset the fiscal year structure as well.
5. Click on Save.
