Fix dates displaying as 9999 on reports and letters
When previewing a statement or report in Report Designer, you may sometimes see 9999 displayed rather than the actual prior year date for a cross-period comparison.
That happens when the prior year hasn't been selected for the client during the setup process. To add a prior year for the client, do the following:
- SelectSetup, thenClients, and go to the Accounting Information tab.
- Select the client, and thenEdit.
- SelectEdit Dates.
- SelectAdd Prior Yearand thenOK.
- Preview the statement or report again and you'll see the actual year displayed instead of 9999.
Letters displaying 9999 instead of the year
If you're previewing a letter that is displaying the year incorrectly as 9999, date options haven't been selected for the letter. Use the following steps to apply date options to your letter.
- With a letter open in the Report Designer, selectFile, thenPage Setup.
- In the Report tab, select eitherAccountingorStandarddates in the Date Options section.
- Mark at least 1 of the checkboxes for the date options (for example,Current MonthorCurrent Period).
- Preview the letter again to make sure that the correct year is displayed.
- If the letter is part of a report profile, remove the letter and re-add it to apply this change.
