<h1>Fixing Fiscal Year's Error</h1>
While creating entries in ERPNext, system validates if dates (like Posting Date, Transaction Date etc.) matches with Fiscal Year selected in the entry. If not, system through an error message saying:
`Date ##-##-#### not in fiscal year`
You are more likely to receive this error message if your Fiscal Year has changes, but you still have old Fiscal Year updated. To ensure new Fiscal Year is auto updated in the transactions, you should setup your master as instructed below.
####Create New Fiscal Year
