Process for year two and onwards - roll forward reconciliation data

Any data entered into Silverfin can be rolled forward to future periods in bulk or on a per reconciliation basis.

The methods to do this are

Bulk Roll Forward

This can be rerun as necessary however don't worry if you miss a specific template as you can roll forward on a per template basis.  For manual clients this step is the final stage of the import process but can also be run separately

  1. From the client home screen in the current year (i.e. the year you want to copy data to), select Actions > Copy Template Data
  2. Select the period from the drop down that you want to copy data from (this will normally be the prior period)
  3. Select the templates from the list that you want to roll forwards.  This may include
    1. fixed assets
    2. HP
    3. Planning schedules e.g. permanent information
    4. accounts notes that have been tailored
    5. prepayments & accruals
    6. any others that you require
  4. Click the green 'Copy to' button at the bottom of the screen

After the copy then you can modify details in the current year as necessary.

Please note that any data entered into templates in the current period will be overwritten if you run the roll forward later for that specific template.

Individual Template Basis

In specific reconciliations roll forward can be done in one of two ways which depends on the template in use

  1. Where the template has comparative data showing on the screen e.g. prepayments then select Actions> Copy Below Template Data Above
  2. On general templates e.g. permanent information select Actions > Copy data, select the period you want to copy data from and click 'Yes, override data for '.  As per the warning, any data entered will be overwritten.
