Dividing date: Explained
The Accountant’s Copy uses this feature Dividing Date to provide detail of financial period the accountant can work on. This restricts the transactions accountant can modify.
Accountants can only modify those transactions that will fall on or before the dividing date. To prevent clash of overwriting changes, clients can only modify transactions in their working file that will fall after the dividing date until and unless the Accountant’s Copy Restriction is removed.
