26 July 2025 Good question!

If you change the period to the new financial year (F.Y. 14-15) in Tally using **Alt+F2** and later remember you missed an entry in the previous financial year (F.Y. 13-14), you can still go back and enter that transaction in the old period.

**Here’s what happens:**

* When you enter the missing transaction in the old financial year, **Tally will automatically update the balances** for all subsequent periods, including the new financial year.
* You **do NOT need to overwrite or do anything special**; the ledger balances will reflect the change immediately once you save that old entry.
* Just ensure your company data is backed up before making significant changes, just to be safe.

So, the balances in F.Y. 14-15 will **automatically reflect** the changes you make in the earlier year.

---

**Summary:**

* Use **Alt+F2** to switch financial years/periods.
* Enter missing entries anytime by switching back to that period.
* Balances will automatically update across periods.
* No need to overwrite or manually adjust data.
