Advance changes from a prior period to the current period using Merge

Merge

This option won’t replace the next period but bring forward changes made in the prior period after the original closing and integrate it with the existing data. Only data that has been changed will be brought forward and Information that is in the next period, such as acquisitions and dispositions, will still be present.
To merge forward new treatments added to a prior period the treatment must first already be enabled in each subsequent year.
For more information see Fixed Assets CS: Adding Treatments to Prior Period
For special instructions on merging forward changes to bonus depreciation elections see Fixed Assets CS: Changing bonus depreciation elections in a prior period.
note
You may always test the impact of reclosing a period by creating a copy of the client and reclosing the period within the copy prior to working on the original data.
Follow these instructions to make changes in a prior period and transfer those changes forward to the current period.
