Click the Fiscal Year check box then select the starting month of your fiscal year from the months list.
In the description field you can define a format for the entity description, using some text and the variables yy and YY which represent respectively the starting and final calendar years of the fiscal year.
The description cannot exceed 15 characters in length.
