Fiscal File Rebuilder

(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 4 Hot Fix 16 and later versions of Maitre'D)

If you realize past sales were posted to the wrong fiscal Weeks, Periods and Year, you can rebuild these cumulative files with this function.

C:\Posera\Maitred\Data\Sum

Select all the SP*.dat, SW*.dat and the SY*.dat files to a different backup folder.

Access the Maitre'D Back-Office with an F8 password

Hit the F8 key, and provide the Serial Number and the resulting hexadecimal Code in the following page of the Maitre'D web site, which will generate another hexadecimal password to access the Maitre'D Back-Office:

System Configuration / Tools / Fiscal File Rebuilder

System Configuration / Tools / Fiscal File Rebuilder / Date Control

Enter the proper dates for the First Day of The Week, Start of Year and End of Year, as well as the number of weeks per period, if you use that accounting method.

Click on the OK button.

The fiscal file creator will recreate the summary cumulative files from the daily sales.

C:\Posera\Maitred\data\sum\Rebuild-Sum

Copy all these files to

C:\Posera\Maitred\Data\Sum

If needed, repeat this process for every previous fiscal year.

Note: This does NOT adjust your fiscal dates for the current year. Do not forget to also adjust these as well in System Configuration / Tools / Date Control
