Is it possible to remove the years from the drop-down list after a data purge has been done?  If so, how?

Hi ??

Try running reconcile in Financial (after a backup of the DB)

Jo,
We just did an update to GP 2018 and ran reconciles on all companies.  This did not update the list of year.
Thank you,
Heidi

Hi

If you’re sure all prior years have been purged, then grab a backup and go to Administration>Setup>Company>Fiscal Periods and delete the fiscal period in question?

Jo,

I do not see a delete button in that windows.

Are you familiar with doing this process?

Hi
There is no way thru GP to delete prior FY setups without using either PSTL (which deletes everything !) and re-create them, or use SQL script to selectively delete your previous FY’s.
See this older (but still valid) blog post from :

Beat,

Thank you.  This was my guess.  I appreciate the confirmation.
