| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| In the''' Name '''field''',''' by default, we can see the name of the company ''''ST COMPANY PVT. LTD'.'''

This is because we had given this name during installation.

But here you can also change the name based on how you want it to appear in the reports.

I will keep the same name''' 'ST COMPANY PVT. LTD'.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click>>''' Address''' field
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| In the '''Address''' field, I will type

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Slide 5'''

'''Fiscal Year setup'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| When you create a new '''Company''', you should check that the '''Fiscal Year '''is set up correctly

By default, '''FrontAccounting '''software shows the fiscal year from '''January to December.'''

This is not suitable for Companies and Organisations in India.

So here, we can create our own '''financial year,''' which is from '''April to March'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click >> '''Update''' button>>
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click on '''Update''' button to save the entries.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click>>'''Fiscal Year icon'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| You can see that, by default, the '''Fiscal year '''begins from '''01 January 2015 '''to '''31 December 2015.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Type '''01 January 2016 '''to '''31 March 2016'''. 

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| First, I will create a dummy period for 3 months from '''01 January 2016 '''to '''31 March 2016'''. 

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Slide 6'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| This is because we have to fill the gap between 

* '''the Fiscal year''' ie.1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015 
* and the '''Financial year''' which is from 1st April 2016 to 31st March 2017

Now, click on the '''Add New '''button.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to the new row of '''dummy period'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Here, you can see the dummy period is created,

A message appears and it says -

'''“New Fiscal year has been added”'''.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Type '''1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017.'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Let us start with the''' setup tab''' in '''FrontAccounting'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to''' Setup Icon>> click on it'''

* '''Company Setup'''
* '''User Accounts setup'''
* '''Access setup'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click >> '''Company Setup icon'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| In the''' Name '''field''',''' by default, we can see the name of the company ''''ST COMPANY PVT. LTD'.'''

This is because we had given this name during installation.

But here you can also change the name based on how you want it to appear in the reports.

I will keep the same name''' 'ST COMPANY PVT. LTD'.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click>>''' Address''' field
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| In the '''Address''' field, I will type

'''Fiscal Year setup'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| When you create a new '''Company''', you should check that the '''Fiscal Year '''is set up correctly

By default, '''FrontAccounting '''software shows the fiscal year from '''January to December.'''

This is not suitable for Companies and Organisations in India.

So here, we can create our own '''financial year,''' which is from '''April to March'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click >> '''Update''' button>>
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click on '''Update''' button to save the entries.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Type '''01 January 2016 '''to '''31 March 2016'''. 

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| First, I will create a dummy period for 3 months from '''01 January 2016 '''to '''31 March 2016'''. 

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Slide 6'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| This is because we have to fill the gap between 

* '''the Fiscal year''' ie.1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015 
* and the '''Financial year''' which is from 1st April 2016 to 31st March 2017

Now, click on the '''Add New '''button.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Point to the new row of '''dummy period'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Here, you can see the dummy period is created,

A message appears and it says -

'''“New Fiscal year has been added”'''.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Type '''1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017.'''

Click on '''Add new'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Click >> '''Edit''' '''Icon''' of '''Fiscal year'''>>
